A political scientist by training and a former professor at North Kolkata's Shri Shikshayatan College, Ghosh had long been seen as a cerebral presence in a party where oratory, discipline, and ideological clarity were prized, during the tumultuous years of the BJP in West Bengal.

Although his active political career faded nearly two decades ago, Ghosh, a quintessential Bengali “bhadralok”, remained a respected voice within the party.

His elevation as governor is being seen as both an acknowledgement of his long political journey and a gesture of respect toward the older generation of BJP leaders who built the party's foundations in a state where it long remained marginal.
