It is not on a regular basis that an elected consultant to the put up of chief minister will get married in workplace. This isn’t as a result of folks with duties of this nature select to showcase that they’re married to their job and job alone.

It is actually because CMs – or, for that matter, PMs – are of a sure classic that sees them already hitched. However 48-year- previous Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann bucked the pattern by marrying Gurpreet Kaur on Thursday. And, frankly, there’s nothing that spreads pleasure greater than a shaadi of a public determine.

Mann will not be alone as a nuptialling CM.
