West Bengal Assembly Election: PM Modi wants to eat sweet from newly married Dilip Ghosh
Modi Recalls Dilip Ghosh Nuptials Asks For Wedding Sweets
A year ago, a quiet wedding ceremony for seasoned political figure Dilip Ghosh created a stir across the region. Now, the memory of those low-key nuptials found its way onto a prominent political stage, courtesy of Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself. Following a bustling rally in Kolkata, Modi engaged in a lighthearted moment with the former state unit chief, playfully demanding wedding sweets that were never shared.
The scene unfolded at the Brigade Parade Ground. After delivering his address, Prime Minister Modi took time to exchange pleasantries with leaders present on the dais. Reaching Dilip Ghosh, he extended a handshake, then held Ghosh’s hand, quipping, “You got married, but never offered us any sweets!” The remark brought a wide smile to Ghosh’s face, a rare sight for the generally no-nonsense leader. Other leaders on stage joined in the laughter. Dilip Ghosh, blushing slightly, nodded in agreement, promising to share the much-anticipated sweets once the current electoral hustle concludes.
This candid interaction underscored a personal touch often unseen amidst rigorous political campaigns. For months, Dilip Ghosh’s presence had been noticeably absent from several key party gatherings, including a recent public meeting addressed by the Prime Minister in Singur. His return to the forefront at the Brigade rally, where he occupied a first-row seat and delivered a speech, marked a significant reappearance.
The marriage itself, on April 18 last year, was far from a grand political spectacle. Dilip Ghosh, known for his ‘rough and tough’ public persona, chose a remarkably private affair. He tied the knot with party colleague Rinku in a simple ceremony held at his New Town residence. The guest list was modest, barely reaching a hundred attendees. The bride’s procession comprised a mere fifteen individuals, with no formal invitations extended to relatives or many party stalwarts.
Despite the lack of formal invites, a steady stream of colleagues and even Delhi-based leaders visited Ghosh’s home that day. However, the conspicuous absence of certain prominent figures like Suvendu Adhikari, Arjun Singh, and Tapas Ray at the wedding did not go unnoticed, subtly highlighting underlying dynamics within the state unit. A year later, it was the Prime Minister who brought a moment of levity and shared memory to the political narrative of Omni 360 News.
