Ghosh is a motormouth, a bigger one than Himanta - he did not mince his words (even in private) and pissed off the chamchas of MoSha (who were sent on their behalf to 'micromanage' stuff at the grassroot level). Adhikary, who was a phenomenon following his tight victory over the Queen at his home turf back in the 2021 state assembly polls, suddenly became a darling of the national leadership (read MoSha and their chelas) who were looking to screw Ghosh anyway. So an uninspiring and soft speaking MP was chosen to be the State President - all to project Shubhendu as the face of the party in the state; albeit in a very subtle way.

Hell, that was not even the end of it. Those 'central leaders' were so confident in their ability of pulling out a repeat of 2019 LS polls that Ghosh was deliberately booted out of his home constituency and forced to fight at a tough seat. The end result? They lost in both.
