Political bigwigs across parties in Maharashtra gathered at the wedding of BJP MLA Santosh Danve, son of state BJP chief Raosaheb Danve on Thursday evening.

The lavish wedding had who's who in state politics in attendance, including Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, former Chief Minister Narayan Rane, Leader of Opposition in Legislative Council Dhananjay Munde, several Union and Maharashtra ministers.

"We were all waiting for last two years when will Santosh get married," Fadnavis told the gathering from the wedding stage, which had a large palace like set.

He wished the couple all the best and expressed hope that they serve the state.

The gala wedding evoked flak from social activist Anjali Damania, who questioned the source of funds for the event.

"I am wondering from where does the money for such a lavish wedding come from," Damania said.
