Mahua Moitra ties knot with BJD leader Pinaki Misra in Germany

The Statesman Siliguri

|

June 06, 2025

In a twist that has left political circles abuzz, fiery Trinamul Congress MP Mahua Moitra has reportedly tied the knot with seasoned Biju Janata Dal (BJD) leader Pinaki Misra, in a private ceremony held in Germany, away from the public eye and the political spotlight.

- BISWABRATA GOSWAMI

Sources close to both leaders revealed that the wedding took place two to three months ago, though no official statement has been issued by either Moitra or Misra. The secrecy surrounding the ceremony was such that even party insiders were caught off guard. However, Ujjal Biswas, a Trinamul Congress minister from Krishnagar, Moitra's constituency, confirmed the news, stating that the couple had indeed "quietly tied the knot" two or three months ago.

A photograph circulating on social media, allegedly from the ceremony, shows Moitra dressed in traditional attire and gold jewellery, beaming in what appears to be a candid moment from the occasion, further fuelling the speculation.
