Commenting on the tweet, a man wrote that during the lockdown period a ban on marriages should be imposed, so that his ‘girlfriend’s wedding would get cancelled’. 


“Sir, if you could also impose a ban on weddings…then my girlfriend’s wedding scheduled on 19 May would also be postponed. I shall be grateful to you all my life,” Pankaj Kumar Gupta tweeted. 



While the netizens were baffled at one bizarre request to the CM, a twist in the already hilarious story came when another user named Navya replied to Pankaj and wrote, “When you left me and went to talk to Pooja, I also used to cry a lot. Today I am getting married happily, so please do not do this. But Pankaj, no matter if I get married to someone else, you will forever live in my heart. Please do come to my wedding, I would like you to see me off.” 



Meanwhile, 111 people succumbed to the COVID-19 infection taking the overall toll in Bihar to 4,039 on Tuesday. While 6,286 fresh infections were detected in the last 24 hours, as per state data.
