The chief minister said he had also spoken to Ganguly over the phone and was confident that his participation in the campaign would be an inspiration to the state’s tourism sector.
“It is a matter of great pride that former Indian cricket team captain Sourav Ganguly has accepted the offer to become the brand ambassador of our Tripura tourism,” Saha said in a Facebook post.
