Shivraj Singh Chouhan marries off three ‘adopted’ daughters

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan who likes being called ‘Mama’ and ‘Bhaiya’, on Thursday married off his three ‘daughters’ in a simple ceremony in Vidisha.

In a tweet, Chouhan expressed his happiness that his three daughters–Radha, Preeti, and Suman are getting married. 

“Today my three daughters are entering their future happy life. This day is a day of utmost auspiciousness and good fortune for every father. A big responsibility is going to be fulfilled today. I’m happy that three of my daughters are getting married .”

आज मेरी तीनों बेटियां अपने भावी मंगलमय जीवन में प्रवेश कर रही हैं,यह दिन हर पिता के लिए अत्यंत शुभत्व और सौभाग्य का दिन होता है।

अंतर्मन में द्वंद्व चल रहा है कि यह अधिक प्रसन्नता का दिन है या उनके विदा होने से होने वाले सूनेपन से मन विचलित है।

Chouhan informed that he bought these girls when they were two to two and a half years old in 1998. He said as they had no guardian, thus they decided to keep them with him. They were raised in Sundar Seva Ashram in Vidisha.

He said, “Sadhana Ji brought them up with great love and today we have these daughters married. I am very happy.” He has personally taken care of all the expenses of these kids, including their education.

He had reportedly pledged to take care of seven girls and two boys who were also raised in Sundar Seva Ashram in Vidisha. Out of these adopted children, Chouhan has married off four girls and a boy in the past.
