Ghosh shared the stage with a BJP Lok Sabha candidate and praised him.

A statement signed by TMC Rajya Sabha MP Derek O'Brien said: "Kunal Ghosh has been expressing views that do not align with those of the party. It is important to clarify that these are his personal opinions and should not be attributed to the party." "Only statements issued from AITC headquarters should be considered the party's official position." Ghosh was previously relieved from his role as the party spokesperson, O'Brien added.

He shared the dais with BJP's Kolkata North candidate Tapas Ray and heaped praise on him.

Ghosh skipped a rally organised by the party candidate from the Kolkata North Lok Sabha constituency, Sudip Bandopadhyay.
