Bharati Ghosh is a
former IPS officer and BJP leader of West Bengal. She has formally joined the
saffron party once her resignation letter was accepted by Mamata Banerjee led
state government. The timing of her joining the party is quite crucial. She is
expected to give ammunition for the party against Mamata Banerjee.
Bharati was once
considered a loyalist of Mamata Banerjee. She was the Superintendent of Police
of West Mednipore district for quite a long duration. Her fortune started to
fell once Mukul Roy joined BJP. Actually, within TMC, she was kept in the
bracket of people who are close to Mukul Roy.

fake extortion case was lodged against Bharati.
