Mumbai:
Rahul Mahajan, son of late BJP leader Pramod Mahajan, today said the saffron party is in his blood and announced that he will contest the next Lok Sabha poll on the party's ticket.
"I will contest the 2014 Lok Sabha election. As BJP is in my blood, I will contest the elections in the name of this party," Mahajan, who married Soumasri (Dimpy Ganguly) on a reality TV show recently, said. Accompanied by his wife, Mahajan collected his marriage certificate this morning from the G-South ward office.
The three witnesses that signed the marriage registration are Sameer Nair CEO, Imagine, Sazila Alana, from Sol Production and Ausuja Sayed Mohammed, Rahul's manager. Rahul married Dimpy on NDTV Imagine's show 'Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jayega' on March 6 this year.
The move comes following, an order of a local court asking Mahajan to give an undertaking to it saying that his marriage will be registered within two months from the day it took place. The court had also asked Rahul to submit an affidavit stating that the marriage contracted on March 6 is a bonafide act and not for the purpose of the show in which he participated, and that now Rahul Mahajan and Somashree (Dimpy) Ganguly are husband and wife.
