The marriage venue of Bihar’s deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi’s son has been changed for “security reasons”, days after RJD leader Tej Pratap Yadav threatened to disrupt the ceremony. Earlier this week, a video surfaced purportedly showing Tej Pratap Yadav threatening to disrupt the wedding scheduled for December 3, 2017. News channels had beamed the video footage showing Tej Pratap Yadav delivering a speech in Aurangabad district, where he said “I have been invited by Sushil Modi to attend the wedding of his son. Tej Pratap Yadav’s comments had drawn strong reaction from the deputy chief minister himself who had urged RJD supremo and Tej Pratap Yadav’s father Lalu Prasad Yadav to intervene and persuade his son against making provocative speeches. A local BJP leader, Anil Sahni, on Friday announced a “reward” of Rs one crore to anybody who slaps Tej Pratap Yadav.
