Rashtriya Janata Dal Chief Lalu Prasad and his wife Rabri Devi, both former chief ministers of Bihar, were not invited to the tilak (a pre-wedding event) ceremony of her brother, Sadhu Yadav's daughter, Isha.
She is getting married to Rahul Yadav, the son of Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav's niece. Prasad and Rabri Devi were conspicuous by their absence at the ceremony held in Etawah last Sunday. They were not present at the engagement in New Delhi in February either.
Sadhu Yadav was close to Prasad and Rabri Devi when they ruled Bihar but the relationship has cooled off since then. Asked about it, Prasad said: "He (Sadhu Yadav) has not invited me, how can I attend? My blessings are with her (Isha)."
