Earlier in the day, CAB joint secretary and current treasurer Biswarup Dey and Sourav Ganguly had met Mamata. Besides Ganguly, it was touted that Dey was also in contention for the post of presidency.

On Wednesday, Ganguly had arrived at the state secretariat along with the late Jagmohan Dalmiya’s son Abhishek and held an hour-long meeting with the chief minister.
