He transitioned into politics and joined the BJP in 2015, eventually becoming the state president in West Bengal. Ghosh is widely credited for reshaping West Bengal politics by replacing CPI(M) and establishing the BJP as the primary opposition force in the state during his tenure as the BJP’s state president.

A BJP leader close to the couple said the marriage proposal came from Rinku Majumdar’s side. The decision to marry was finalised during an IPL match earlier this month, which both attended together.

​

While this is Ghosh’s first marriage, it is Majumdar’s second. She has a son from her previous marriage. Despite their personal lives, both are active in party activities and maintain a public political presence.

​

Speaking to the media, Ghosh said he is marrying to fulfil his late mother’s wish and assured that his political activities will continue unaffected. “My personal life will not impact my political work,” he stated.
