Sourav Ganguly has no plans to contest elections right now,wife Dona Ganguly told ‘The Indian Express’.

Former Indian cricket team captain Sourav Ganguly has no plans to contest elections right now,wife Dona Ganguly told ‘The Indian Express’ on Tuesday.

She said she was being misinterpreted by some television channels regarding Ganguly’s possibility of contesting an election on a Samajwadi Party ticket.

“I am distraught with the misinterpretation that some of the channels have been doing with my comments,” said Dona.

Dona said,”I have categorically told some news channels who talked to me in Allahabad that Sourav Ganguly has no plans to contest elections right now. At least he will never do it from Uttar Pradesh. If it ever happens it will be Kolkata only. But till now he has no such plans.”

Dona had been to Lucknow and then to Allahabad with her dance troupe for performances,and returned to Kolkata on Tuesday morning.

Sourav was busy with a Vijay Hazare ODI cricket match at the Eden Gardens and could not be contacted.
