Mamata Banerjee and the Left parties may be arch political rivals in West Bengal, but the Chief Minister’s namesake in Tamil Nadu is not bothered by it. The bride, P. Mamata Banerjee, married Socialism, an ardent communist supporter, in Salem. The wedding had become the talk of the town ever since the invitation card has gone viral.
The groom named Socialism and the bride named Mamta Banerjee tied the knot in the presence of state CPI president R. Mutharasan.
The bride hails from a family of Congress supporters. Her parents named her after the Trinamool Congress leader when she was with the Congress. At the wedding ceremony, she said that the political rivalry attached to their names won’t affect them at all.
As for the 29-year-old groom, his father A. Mohan is the district secretary of the CPI unit in Salem and had named his son Socialism when the Soviet Union was collapsing. His two other sons are named Communism and Leninism.
“We are happy about coming together. We will be inseparable together in happy times as well as tough times. No matter what happens, we will be together our whole lives,” Socialism was quoted as saying.
