Mulayam, Lalu to enter into matrimonial alliance?
New Delhi, Nov 28 (IBNS): Days after the announcement that Samajwadi Party (SP) supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav will come together to reincarnate the Janata Dal, it is learnt that the two Yadavs may end up in a matrimonial alliance.
Mulayam's grand-nephew Tej Pratap is all set to tie the knot with Lalu Prasad's youngest daughter Raj Lakshmi, media reports.
The engagement is likely to take place in mid-December followed by a grand wedding in February next year.
This match is seen as a prelude to the mega merger.
The two party chiefs had issues during the 1990s for leadership of the Mandal classes and Mulayam had even publicly regretted when Lalu vetoed his name for prime ministership in the United Front government in 1997.
