Click to play videoSeedhi, Madhya Pradesh: In June 2001, Nepal's crown prince Dipendra shot and killed his father king Birendra, his mother queen Aishwarya and others of the Nepali royal family. He then shot himself in the head. His motive was allegedly a woman, Devyani Rana, who he was forbidden to marry by his parents.
Devyani may once have been in the news in relation with the Nepal royal family massacre but today, eight-years-later, she is married to Aishwarya Singh, grandson of Congress stalwart Arjun Singh and son of his daughter Veena Singh.
"It's a privilege for me to be the daughter-in-law of this family. Public service is our mission. My father has been in active politics in Nepal for the past 40 years and campaigning is not new to me," said Devyani.
With the Congress denying tickets to both Arjun Singh's children, Veena is contesting as an Independent from Seedhi, and Devyani is busy campaigning for her.
Devyani holds street corner meetings and was seen at a Congress rally to seek blessings from her great-father-in-law Arjun Singh. Singh was in Seedhi to campaign for the official candidate of the Congress.
The congress has checkmated Arjun Singh by giving a ticket to his acolyte Inderjeet Patel which Singh isn't too pleased about.
Arjun Singh may be sidelined, but his grand-daughter-in-law Devyani walks the dusty roads. She was once allegedly connected to the Nepal royal family massacre, but the Arjun Singh family now depend on her to spread their political message.
