Yadav chose a simple ceremony instead of a grand celebration, a decision that drew appreciation from people across the state.

Abhimanyu married Ishita, daughter of Khargone-based farmer Dinesh Yadav.

According to sources, Yadav’s family members wanted a traditional large-scale wedding, but the Chief Minister did not agree and insisted on keeping the event simple.

Not the first time

This was not the first time Yadav chose simplicity. After becoming Chief Minister, he also conducted his elder son’s wedding in Pushkar, where only close family members and a few friends were present.

Former minister Gopal Bhargava had also married off his children through mass wedding events, and Yadav followed a similar path to promote simplicity and discourage wasteful spending.

After the rituals at the mass wedding ceremony, a small reception was held at a private hotel in Ujjain.

The Chief Minister considered not inviting many people, keeping the function limited and simple, just like the wedding.
