The wedding was reportedly attended by around 50 close friends and family.

Tejashwi is the youngest of nine siblings. He has seven sisters and an older brother, Tej Pratap, who is separated.

Tejashwi Yadav's elder brother Tej Pratap also tweeted few photos of the wedding:

ज़िंदगी की नई पारी की शुरूआत के लिए "अर्जुन" को अथाह आशीर्वाद।

Tejashwi, 32, is the Leader of Opposition in the Bihar assembly. In last year's Bihar election, he led his party to a strong tally but the opposition alliance lost to the Nitish Kumar-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

"We are overjoyed. Tejashwi is the only one left (among the nine children of Lalu-Rabri) to get married," said Bhai Virendra, RJD MLA and the party's chief spokesperson in Bihar.

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

Though the wedding was low-key and few knew the date, many supporters have been celebrating and distributing sweets.

Reports say the event was restricted and low-key as Tejashwi Yadav wanted to avoid a large gathering at a time the nation is on alert over rising Omicron cases.
