New Delhi: Madhya Pradesh minister of state for woman and child development Lalita Yadav allegedly organised a wedding of two frogs at a temple in Chhattarpur to appease rain gods, drawing criticism from the Opposition.

Hundreds of people gathered at the temple premises to see the unique wedding, which was followed by a feast.



According to Hindustan Times, temple priest Acharya Brijnandan said, “The frogs’ marriage and feast is a very old tradition to please gods.” He is among those who believe that there will be good monsoon this year due to the ceremony.

However, the Opposition was not pleased and alleged that the minister’s act would encourage superstition.

The minister defended her stance, saying the marriage was a “logical tradition which was necessary to balance the environment”.

Yadav represents Chhattarpur constituency, which falls in the Bundelkhand region that has been in the grip of a severe drought for the past two years.

In a similar incident, locals in Uttar Pradesh’s Varanasi married off two plastic frogs to pray for monsoon. Two people dressed as bride and groom reportedly carried the frogs on decorated plates during the ritual.

Sexless marriage?
Like modi and his virgin wife?
Isn't that good for a country infested with useless animals?

In haryana they don't marry. They just rape.

We don't care about consent in India.

True

What if the male frog runs away and abandons its wife just like modi?

"the Opposition was not pleased and alleged that the minister’s act would encourage superstition."

Yeah because belief in an invisible deity in the sky is not superstition and teaching it at religious institutions is not encouraging superstition.

He will became the next PM of India.

If I remember my year 10 biology lessons correctly the male frogs develop a "nuptial" pad on their fore digits during the rainy season. Rainy season also marks the start of the mating season.

Maybe Modi should marry a cow.
He seems incapable before his virgin wife, he must be finally a man before a cow.
Happy wedding night Modiji

The first Prime Minister of Independent India, Jawaharlal Nehru , must be turning in his grave. He wanted Indians to develop "scientific temper" and not superstitious nonsense peddled in the name of tradition.

And for the Pakistanis on this thread, jumping up and down in glee, think of the cases of peers and jinns in Pakistan.

Desi traditions... mostly nonsense.

 

[hazzam]

He will became the next PM of India.

frog ki jagah tujhe PM bana denge .
