Lalu Prasad Yadav’s Son Gets Married

India: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav’s much-talked-about wedding took place today, tweets by his sister revealed.

Tejashwi Yadav, the younger son and political heir of RJD chief Lalu Yadav, was the only one among his siblings not married.

Photos of the wedding were tweeted by Rohini Acharya, Tejashwi’s sister, who congratulated the couple – Tejashwi Yadav and Rachel Godinho – and wished them “a lifetime of happiness”.

Images showed Tejashwi and his bride participating in wedding rituals in the presence of their family members, including the RJD leader’s mother and former Chief Minister Rabri Devi.

Tejashwi is the youngest of nine siblings. He has seven sisters and an older brother, Tej Pratap, who is separated.

Tejashwi, 32, is the Leader of Opposition in the Bihar assembly. In last year’s Bihar election, he led his party to a strong tally but the opposition alliance lost to the Nitish Kumar-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

“We are overjoyed. Tejashwi is the only one left (among the nine children of Lalu-Rabri) to get married,” said Bhai Virendra, RJD MLA and the party’s chief spokesperson in Bihar.

“After the engagement, we look forward to a grand wedding. Entire Bihar would like to join its beloved leader in his moment of happiness.”
