The politician told media, "The wedding of my son had been fixed in Ramanagara on April 17. It was planned in a big way. Because of the guidelines due to the virus given by the government and the WHO, it has to be scaled down. Even keeping the family members - my siblings and their families - that (the gathering) comes to 60, 70 (invitees)."

HD Kumaraswamy apologized to his party workers and well-wishers for not inviting them to his son's wedding. He said, "I once again request my well-wishers with folded hands, with pain and apologies - although I wanted to invite you all, these unavoidable circumstances mean it has to be limited and at home. Please forgive me, please don't flout the rules, send them good wishes from home on Friday morning."

However, HD Kumaraswamy ensured that he will throw a grand reception party in Ramanagar once the situation gets under control.
