Couple disengage on discord over Prime Minister Modi’s performance

New Delhi:A couple in Uttar Pradesh has reportedly cancelled their wedding as they differed on their outlook towards Prime Minister NarendraModi.

According to report, a businessman in UP was due to get married to a woman who is a government employee. The article doesn’t disclose the names of the parties and neither where the couple is located, but says the betrothed duo had decided to meet at a temple to finalise the arrangements of the wedding.

Everything apparently was going smoothly till one of them raised the topic of the economic slowdown in the country. While the woman was reportedly convinced that the person responsible for this was Modi, the man was a Modi supporter and refused to buy the reasoning. Soon a heated argument followed and the two decided to part ways.

Much to the apparent – and understandable shock – of their families, the two conveyed their decision to not get married any more to them.

This adds to the increasing list of ‘bizarre’ reasons for which weddings have been called off in India. From the lack of a loo to the inability of the groom to solve a simple math problem, the past couple of years have seen interesting but seemingly valid reasons for couples to call of their wedding at the last minute.
