Lalu Prasad Yadav's elder son and RJD leader Tej Pratap Yadav on Saturday tied the knot with Aishwarya Rai, the daughter of RJD MLA Chandrika Rai. A galaxy of VIPs were also in attendance at the wedding ceremony at the sprawling veterinary college ground. Bihar Governor Satya Pal Mallik, Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and several of his cabinet colleagues, veteran socialist leader Sharad Yadav were there to bless the couple. The entire top brass of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) stood at the entrance to welcome the guests.
Nitish Kumar, who has strained relations with the RJD chief's family ever since walked away from the Grand Alliance and returned to the BJP-led NDA, was greeted with loud cheers from the gathering. He exchanged pleasantries with Prasad and later sat on the dais flanked by the RJD chief and Rabri Devi. Other dignitaries who came to the city earlier to bless the couple included former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav and his wife Dimple Yadav, NCP leader Praful Patel, Congress leader Digvijaya Singh and lawyer Ram Jethmalani.
