Former Bihar Chief Ministers Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi's elder son and ex-minister Tej Pratap Yadav tied the knot with Aishwarya Rai, daughter of ex-minister Chandrika Rai and granddaughter of former CM Daroga Rai, at a traditional function in Patna on Saturday evening. A galaxy of political leaders had descended in Patna to bless the newlywed couple. However, deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi, who had said he will attend the ceremony and bless the couple, could not make it as he had to leave for Poland. Elaborate arrangements had been made at the wedding venue to cater to around 50,000 guests, who were expected to attend the function. Tej Pratap and Aishwarya's engagement ceremony was held on April 18 in the presence on close family members and friends in the absence of Lalu, who was then admitted at AIIMS-Delhi for his treatment.
