Deputy CM Gets 44,000 Marriage Proposals

The Deputy CM gave his WhatsApp contact number so that he can receive complaints about bad roads. What he got instead was marriage proposals - a staggering 44000 proposals at that.

The Deputy CM in question is Tejaswi Yadav, the cricketer-turned-politician and Lalu Yadav's son.

"Out of 47,000 message received on the number, nearly 44,000 were personal message proposing marriage to Yadav. Only 3,000 messages were related to road repair," a government official said.

He said most of these girls provided personal information including figure statistics, skin colour and height

"In fact, young women mistook the number as Tejaswi's own and sent the personal messages," the official added.

In response, Yadav jokingly said that such personal messages could have landed him into deep trouble had he been married.

"Thank God I am still single," he said.

Tejaswi and elder brother Tej Pratap Yadav, who is also the Health Minister, are the two most sought after bachelors in Bihar.

However, Tejaswi told media persons that he prefers an arranged marriage.
