Punjab CM is set to get married to Dr Gurpreet Singh whom he has known for a long time. The marriage was arranged by his mother and sister.
New Delhi: The Chief Minister of Punjab, Bhagwant Mann will marry Dr Gurpreet Kaur in a private ceremony on Thursday at their residence in Chandigarh. The wedding will take place as a private event and all the expenses will be taken care of by Mann himself and not the government. Raghav Chadha has been given the responsibility to take care of organising the wedding. The wedding is likely to be attended by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, his deputy Manish Sisodia and Chadha along with their families.
Not much is known about Mann’s wife-to-be Dr Gurpreet Kaur, however, it is being said that they have known each other for a long time, and she has visited the CM’s house before. Kaur belongs to a modest family. The marriage was arranged by Mann’s mother and sister.
Mann has been divorced for six years, his ex-wife lives in the US along with their two children. The children had attended their father's swearing-in ceremony when he was elected as the Chief Minister of the state.
Comedian turned politician Bhagwant Mann became an MP from Sangrur for the first time in 2014. His first wife Inderjit Kaur also campaigned for him. In the later years, the couple drifted apart as he couldn't spend time with his family and was more involved in politics, a PTI report quoted Bhagwant Mann as saying.
Before the Punjab Assembly elections in March of this year, the Aam Aadmi Party declared him as its CM face for Punjab and contested the elections. He won the polls with a thumping majority. Bhagwant Mann is the 17th Chief Minister of Punjab.
