Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann will tie the knot for the second time. On Thursday, he will marry Dr Gurpreet Kaur in Chandigarh. The wedding ceremony will be held at his residence. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal will also attend the occasion. Bhagwant Mann first married Inderpreet Kaur. She now lives in America with her two children. Let us know why CM Bhagwant Mann had to take a divorce.
When Bhagwant Mann was sworn in as Chief Minister in Khatkarkalan, the village of Shaheed Bhagat Singh, there was a lot of discussion about the two faces. These two faces were the son and daughter of Bhagwat Mann. Both had arrived from America for the swearing-in ceremony. Both had met after seven years with father Bhagwant Mann.
Bhagwant Mann's son Dilshan Mann is 17 years old and daughter Seerat Kaur Mann is 21 years old. Both live in America with their mother Inderpreet Kaur. Bhagwant Mann and Inderpreet Kaur got divorced in 2015. Since then Inderpreet Kaur lives in America with her two children. Earlier in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, Bhagwat Mann had won from Sangrur on an Aam Aadmi Party ticket.
When Bhagwant Mann decided to contest the Lok Sabha elections for the first time, his first wife also supported him. She also held several rallies for Bhagwant Mann in the Lok Sabha constituency. Inderpreet's effective speeches were discussed a lot during the election campaign. At that time, it was even said that if AAP gives Inderpreet a ticket in the assembly elections, then she can easily win the election.
On 20 March 2015, Bhagwant Mann and Inderpreet Kaur filed for divorce by mutual consent in court. Mann's argument in this application was that he is getting divorced from his wife due to politics. People have chosen him by faith.
According to reports, in the application given in the court, Bhagwant Mann's wife had put a condition that if Mann leaves India and shifts to California, then she will withdraw the divorce application. On the other hand, Mann did not want to leave politics and go abroad. Mann argued that he could not break the trust of the people. If his wife wants to settle with him in India, he will withdraw the divorce application.
Bhagwant Mann also shared the reason for his divorce on his Facebook page. In this, he wrote, 'What was hanging from the time has been resolved, the court's decision, it has become yesterday, Ek Please Parivar, Duje Please Si Punjab, Main To Yaaro Apne Punjab Val Ho Gaye.'
Bhagwant Mann's stature in politics has increased. Mann became a Lok Sabha MP for the second time in 2019. Now the 25th Chief Minister of Punjab has become. Even after this, the pain of the family's separation is still in his heart. During an interview, he said that I lost my children and family because of politics.
