BJP/RSS leader ties knot on Valentine's Day

BJP Secretary Arvind Bhadauria married ABVP leader Archana Guru on St Valentine's Day in Bhopal. Senior BJP and RSS functionaries attended the marriage and blessed the couple.

No wonder that there were no statements against V-day this year and no attacks on card galleries or blackening of couple's faces. Though the party leaders played down the marriage, the leaders naturally felt awkward and looked uneasy explaining their stand on V-day.

It was a 'love marriage'. Though Bhadoria said that it was just a coincidence that the wedding happened on this day, his wife said that it was a great gift for her on the auspicious day. BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargiya jokingly said that,'hamaare liye to roz hi valentine day hia'. Bhadoriya comes from RSS background

RSS leader Sanjay Joshi came from Delhi to attend the marriage. Interestingly, no Bajrang Dal or BJP leaders issued any statements against Western culture though just a couple of days back Ram Madhav here had spoken vehemently against V-day and had termed it a corrupting influence on Indian culture.
