Thiruvananthapuram: It was a marriage which was devoid of any pomp or show. The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPM) state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan went according to the party rule book by having a simple ceremony for his daughter's marriage.
The list of invitees included Kerala Governor R.L. Bhatia and Chief Minister V.S. Achuthanandan.
Vijayan's only daughter, Veena, exchanged garlands with Suneesh and the marriage ceremony was over in a few minutes on Saturday.
There was no feast, instead a small cup of payasam (a local sweet dish) and a glass of tea was served to all those present.
Vijayan personally oversaw all the arrangements. He insisted that there should be no diversion of traffic that would affect the common man.
Last month the party came under fire when traffic was stopped for the reception of Kerala Home Minister and senior CPM member Kodiyeri Balakrishnan's son's marriage.
