Expelled JD(U) leader Anant Singh has said invitations for his younger daughter Shivangi Singh's wedding on 25 November are being sent across India and Pakistan. The wedding, at Ladma village in Bihar, will include a feast for four lakh people and a horse race with a Mahindra Thar as the prize. Singh said political differences have no place at family celebrations and plans to invite Prime Minister Narendra Modi, former Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar and RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav. The wedding comes less than a week before Singh's court-ordered surrender by 1 December in the Dularchand Yadav murder case. Singh was expelled from the JD(U) in October for alleged anti-party activities. He had been granted bail by the Patna High Court in March.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both The Times of India and India Today report the wedding plans without editorial slant, sticking to factual details. The Times of India leads with Singh's cross-border invitation, quoting his remarks on political divisions, while India Today foregrounds the scale, a feast for four lakh, a horse race, and adds the surrender date. India Today also names the bridegroom, Rishikesh Kumar, and notes the sacred-thread ceremony for Singh's son. The coverage is uniform straight reporting, the different leads reflect editorial choices on what is most newsworthy. The shared concrete watch item is Singh's surrender deadline of 1 December.
