Patna: The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leaders and workers in Bihar are ecstatic and in celebratory mood as former chief minister and party supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav’s younger son Tejashwi Yadav is set to get engaged in Delhi on Thursday.

32-year-old Tejashwi Yadav, arguably the most eligible bachelor in Bihar’s political circles, is scheduled to get engaged in Delhi on Thursday.

The identity of the bride-to-be though remains a mystery since all members of the RJD chief's extended family are camping in Delhi for the ‘sagaai’ (engagement).

“We are exhilarated. Tejashwi is the only one left (among the nine children of Lalu-Rabri) to get married,” PTI quoted Maner MLA and RJD chief state spokesperson Bhai Virendra as saying.

Virendra, who expressed his delight by distributing ‘laddoos’, however, did not have much of a clue regarding the marriage date or who the bride was.

“After the engagement, we look forward to a grand wedding. Entire Bihar would like to join its beloved leader in his moment of happiness,” he said.

The function, according to sources close to the family, is being kept low key at the instance of Tejashwi Yadav, who is wary of a large gathering at a time a fresh spurt in Covid-19 cases is being feared.

There are speculations that the wedding of Tejashwi Yadav, the leader of the opposition in the Bihar Assembly, may take place soon since December 14 heralds ‘kharmaas’ - a month-long period during which all auspicious functions are kept in abeyance.
