Patna,(BiharTimes): Former chief minister Rabri Devi and husband RJD president Lalu Prasad married off their sixth daughter, Anushka––third this year alone––in New Delhi on Tuesday. She tied the knot with Chiranjeev Rao, son of Haryana Power Minister Ajay Singh Yadav, at a ceremony attended by a host of political leaders including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress President Sonia Gandhi. |
Delhi Lt General Tejendra Khanna, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit, Union Ministers Jyotiraditya Scindia, Kumari Selja, BJP leader L K Advani, SP Chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, his son and UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi, LJP chief Ram Vilas Paswan and Bihar BJP chief, Dr C P Thakur, were among the important guests. Rao is currently President of Haryana Youth Congress. The marriage was solemnized at Lalu’s official residence 25, Tughlaq Marg.
Nitish Kumar had also attended the marriage ceremony of Lalu Prasad’s fifth daughter Hema at the same venue in March this year, which was also attended by the Prime Minister as well as Sonia Gandhi.
Incidentally, Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi was also seen at the function. Apart from that, Congress Media Department head Janardhan Dwivedi, Motilal Vohra, Makhanlal Fotedar, Yoganand Shastri and Dr Naresh Trehan were also present.
The RJD chief’s fourth daughter Ragini tied the knot in the last week of January this year with son of former Samjawadi Party MLA from Ghaziabad Jitendra Yadav, who has at that time joined Congress and was made party candidate from Sikandarabad in Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls this year. However, Jitendra Yadav, again joined Samajwadi Party after he lost in the polls.
Anushka is the fourth daughter of Lalu Prasad to be married in the national capital. His third daughter Chanda was the first to be married in the national capital. She got married with an Indian Airlines pilot from Haryana when Prasad was Railway Minister in UPA-I.
The first two daughters Misa and Rohini were married in Bihar when Rabri Devi was the chief minister. The rest four son-in-laws are from outside Bihar.
