NEW DELHI: Former West Bengal BJP president and senior leader Dilip Ghosh married party colleague Rinku Majumdar in a private ceremony at his New Town residence near Kolkata on Friday. Clad in traditional Bengali attire and a ceremonial ‘topor,’ Ghosh appeared before the media after the rituals and thanked well-wishers, including chief minister Mamata Banerjee.
“I thank everyone for their blessings. My personal life will not impact my political responsibilities,” said the 60-year-old leader, adding that he fulfilled his mother’s long-standing wish by getting married.
This is Ghosh’s first marriage and Majumdar’s second. She has a son from her previous marriage. The couple reportedly met during morning walks at Eco Park in 2021 and decided to formalize their relationship earlier this month during an IPL match in Kolkata. “I proposed, and I’m proud he eventually accepted,” said Majumdar, 51.
Senior BJP leaders, including state unit chief Sukanta Majumdar, visited the couple to extend their greetings. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee also sent flowers and a congratulatory note, though Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari declined to comment.
The wedding, held as per Vedic rituals, was attended only by close family. Ghosh is scheduled to visit his hometown Kharagpur on Saturday and may join a political event in Dumdum, party sources said. When asked about honeymoon plans, he quipped, “It will happen somewhere in India.”
TMC leader Kunal Ghosh, in a playful post on X, remarked that since Eco Park — where the couple first met — was Mamata Banerjee’s creation, her “role” in the union was “undeniable.”
