Beating many lavish marriages in India, Vishal Singh,son of late Ajit Singh is indeed going to marry in style. Vishal is vice chairman of NCCF and also a board member of NAFED where his father used to be Chairman not long ago.
According to sources Vishal Singh’s mother Meena Singh has approached railway ministry for booking the entire train in which barat could travel unhindered from Patna to Gonda.
Talking to Indian Cooperative.com Vishal Singh vehemently denied the booking of train and said that despite our denial newspapers publish this.
Rail Minister Mamta Banerji is reported to have expressed surprise at this bizarre request. Reserving coaches is normal but booking the entire train is unheard of as it involves saying no to the common passenger. Chartered airplane is alright but chartered train is indeed new.
But railway being a commercial venture, according to experts, booking of entire train is possible if you are ready to shell out hefty sum.
The high profile marriage is scheduled for 31st January where two heavy weight political families are uniting. Vishal’s mother Meena Singh is JDU MP while bride’s father Brijbhushan Sharan Singh represents Kaiserganj on Samajwadi Party ticket.
Vishal’s grandfather Tapeshwar Singh is held as front rung leader who strengthened cooperative movement in Bihar. Ajit Singh, his second son, followed his foot steps and chose cooperative movement as his area of interest.
But unfortunately his name cropped up in tie up business losses suffered by NAFED during his chairmanship. The scam is huge and some arrests have also been made. His sudden death in a road accident has further complicated the matter as those under scanner of investigation are trying to pass the buck in his name.
The investigation is going on yet with little recovery so far.
