Ghosh was born at Kuliana village near Gopiballavpur of Paschim Medinipur district, West Bengal on 1 August 1964 in a wealthy family. He is the second of the four sons of Late Bholanath Ghosh and Puspalata Ghosh. After completing his schooling at the village schools, he moved to Jhargram for higher education.But could not complete his graduation. He wanted to serve the nation & decided to join the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) as a Pracharak. Since then, Ghosh has worked in various parts of the country in this capacity.
Career
Ghosh was the in-charge of RSS in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and worked as an assistant to former RSS chief KS Sudarshan.
He has come to BJP from RSS a year back & was appointed as WB State General Secretary.
In 2015, Ghosh was selected as West Bengal State President of BJP.
On 16 December 2016, Ghosh was allegedly injured during protests condemning comments made by Maulauna Noor-ur Rahman Barkati, the Shahi Iman of the Tipu Sultan Mosque in Kolkata, in which West Bengal BJP Secretary Deboshree Chowdhury, Baisnabnagar MLA Swadhin Kumar Sarkar and other local BJP leaders were arrested. Barakati said that Ghosh should be "pelted with stones and kicked out of Bengal" after Ghosh made a remark about Chief Minister of West Bengal Mamata Banarjee by saying that his party could have “dragged” her “by the hair” when she was in New Delhi, but had chosen not to. The BJP claimed that Ghosh was allegedly injured during the protests by the police who tried to stop the protest.
On 12 January 2017, All India Trinamool Congress general secretary Subrata Bakshi asked the police to look into Ghosh's possible involvement in the murder of two AITC activists in Kharagpur village.
