Lalu and his wife Rabri Devi, both former chief ministers of Bihar are coming to Lucknow on Sunday to perform a pre-engagement ceremony. The event will start with a ‘shagun’ ceremony at Mulayam’s residence, they said.

Lalu and Rabri would be accompanied by their son Tejaswi, eldest daughter Misa and other relatives, sources said.

On Mulayam’s side, CM Akhilesh Yadav, SP national general secretary Ram Gopal Yadav, senior cabinet minister Shivpal Singh Yadav and other family members would be present. A grand ring ceremony is scheduled in Delhi on December 16.
