In a petition moved before the court of Justice Dipankar Dutta, he said he was not able to utilise his MPLAD money for development work for the people.
Ghosh, who was suspended by Trinamool Congress for alleged anti-party activities before his arrest in November, 2013, claimed before the court that he had recommended several times to the KMC different development work, but did not receive any reply.
