A Example for everyone 

Nikhil, the grandson of former prime minister H.D. Deve Gowda, is getting married to Revathi, the grandniece of senior Karnataka Congress leader M. Krishnappa. The couple had got engaged on 10 February.

The engagement was a grand affair and therefore the families had announced a good bigger celebration for the marriage .

However, Kumarswamy made a choice to host a modest wedding in light of the pandemic because the family didn’t want to postpone the date.

“There was no choice to shift the dates because the auspicious date was fixed much before the Covid-19 outbreak. the wedding are going to be a really private event and attended by just family relatives on each side ,” As per the media report.

The Janata Dal (Secular) chief had subsequently sought official permission from the Karnataka government to conduct the marriage and agreed to comply with all norms of the Covid-19 lockdown.

Sudhakar said Thursday afternoon.
