In recent times, a bill was introduced in Lok Sabha by Ranjeet Ranjan, a Bihar Congress MP, who sought for putting limitation on the money individuals spend or rather waste on big fat Indian weddings. As per the bill, if a person makes the expenses of more than Rs. 5 lakhs, a donation of 10% of the amount spent will be sent for a poor girl’s marriage.
However, lately it has come to view that the political leader herself had a quite extravagant marriage ceremony and at this, it’s difficult to digest that such a bill has been introduced by her.
News 18 Bihar reported that in 1994, she went to Purnia on a chartered plane for her marriage and the whole city had been given the invitation. What’s more, bookings were made on all the guest houses as well as hotels.
For the purpose of marriage, a land of 200 acres had been utilized and important personalities, such as Raj Babbar, Lalu Yadav, etc. were present at the ceremony.
Caterers were called from outside Purnia and the whole city had been decked like a bride. Probably this was the grandest and most lavish marriage that ever took place in the town. Not only this, many vehicles and caravans of horses and elephants added to the wedding and gave it a royal look.
On being questioned about it, the leader refused and said that it wasn’t for her marriage but a political rally. As per her, the ceremony of her marriage was attended by a large number of people just because Pappu Yadav, her husband, is a well-known leader.
Well, at this point, we can only say, ‘Practice What You Preach!’
