Uttar Pradesh: Political discussion is always a matter of discussion, but in a bizarre incident here in UP a couple took the discussion so seriously that they cancelled their wedding just because they differed on their outlook towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
It’s heartening to see the younger generation taking politics very seriously. The increased participation in protests and the ever-buzzing social media space is a reflection of the youth seriously participating in the political future of the country.
According to a media report a businessman in UP was due to get married to a woman who is a government employee. The article doesn’t disclose the names of the parties and neither where the couple is located, but says the betrothed duo had decided to meet at a temple to finalize the arrangements of the wedding.
Everything apparently was going smoothly till one of them raised the topic of the economic slowdown in the country. While the woman was reportedly convinced that the person responsible for this was Modi, the man was a Modi supporter and refused to buy the reasoning. Soon a heated argument followed and the two decided to part ways.
Much to the apparent and understandable shock of their families, the two conveyed their decision to not get married any more to them.
This adds to the increasing list of ‘bizarre’ reasons for which weddings have been called off in India. From the lack of a loo to the inability of the groom to solve a simple math problem, and the groom snake dance, the past couple of years have seen interesting but seemingly valid reasons for couples to call of their wedding at the last minute.
