Citizenship controversy
After joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in June 2019, speculation rose about Ghosh's nationality. Later, the BJP claimed that she is a citizen of India and has an Indian passport. West Bengal BJP chief Dilip Ghosh released her birth certificate, issued by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation in 2003. According to the certificate, she was born as Anju Ghosh to Sudhanya Ghosh and Binapani Ghosh on 17 September 1966 in East End Nursing Home, Kolkata. On the other hand, in an interview with Ekushey Television in September 2018, she mentioned about her birth in 1956 in Faridpur District in the-then East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) and her moving to Chittagong before the liberation war of Bangladesh in 1971. She had added about her studies in Krishnakumari High School in Chittagong.
