Mokama MLA Anant Singh plans feast for 4 lakh people for daughter's wedding

The wedding of Shivangi Singh in Bihar's Ladma village will feature a horse race and over 150 varieties of food.

Mokama MLA Anant Singh is preparing for his younger daughter Shivangi Singh's wedding on November 25 in Ladma village, according to reports by India Today, Prabhat Khabar and Rediff. Shivangi Singh will marry Rishikesh Kumar, also known as Ankit, on the same day the family will hold the sacred-thread ceremony for Singh's younger son, Abhinav.

The celebrations will include a horse race where the winner receives a Mahindra Thar and the runner-up receives a motorcycle. Singh said there will be no firecrackers at the event due to environmental concerns. The feast is expected to serve 4 lakh people with more than 150 varieties of delicacies.

Singh plans to invite Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, Nitish Kumar, Lalu Prasad Yadav, and Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav. He also expressed a desire to invite guests from India and Pakistan. Celebrities such as Sonu Sood, Manoj Tiwari, Maithili Thakur, Pawan Singh, and Akshara Singh have been invited, though their attendance is not yet confirmed.

The wedding comes before Singh's scheduled surrender on December 1 in connection with the Dular Chand Yadav murder case. Singh, who was recently expelled from the JD(U), was granted bail by the Patna High Court in March. He has already extended an invitation to Prem Kumar.
