Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Dilip Ghosh is set to tie the knot with his party colleague Rinku Majumdar. According to reports, the former West Bengal BJP chief is likley to get married in a simple ceremony at his residence in Kolkata on Friday, April 18.

The 60-year-old BJP leader has known Rinku Majumdar since 2013, but began talking properly only in 2021.

Rinku Majumdar — The Bride-To-Be

Several media reports stated that Dilip Ghosh will tie the knot with Rinku Majumdar, who has been a member of the BJP for a long time. Majumdar has handled several key responsibilities for the party, including the women's wing or BJP Mahila Morcha, the OBC front, and the handloom cell, among others, India Today reported.

According to a report by Hindustan, Rinku Majumdar had been divorced earlier and has a 25-year-old son who works in an IT company in Salt Lake, Kolkata. Rinku's son is very happy with his mother's marriage to Dilip Ghosh, reported Indian Express Bangla. However, he is unlikely to attend the wedding due to some prior commitments. 

The 'bride-to-be' was recently spotted at Eden Gardens on April 3, fuelling speculations of her relationship with Dilip Ghosh. 

Rinku Majumdar Reveals Who Proposed Whom

Ahead of the anticipated wedding, Majumdar revealed how the two of them met and who proposed to whom for marriage. Talking to News 18, she said she was the one who made the first move and proposed to Dilip Ghosh. 

"Since 2013, I’ve been associated with the BJP organisationally. When he was an MLA-MP, I never spoke to him. At that time, I worked at the block level. We first spoke just before the 2021 elections at Eco Park — very casually. During this Lok Sabha election, we spoke a bit more. Very ordinary interactions, nothing beyond that," Majumdar said.

She further said that she was looking for a partner who would understand and accept her political career and was from the New Town area.

"Around mid-September, when I was thinking about settling down, I proposed to him. My conditions were: it has to be someone within New Town, and he must accept my political career. While thinking through all this, he came to mind. He is the most eligible bachelor in my constituency. He’s not like the usual political figures. He’s a very good person—very honest, strong. I really liked these qualities and thought, why not propose to him," Majumdar was quoted as saying by News 18.

Majumdar said that Ghosh did not immediately say yes to her and took three months to answer her. She added that he spoke to his mother before agreeing to marry her.
