“I feel like I have been given a second life. I am very poor. I did not have enough to marry my daughters. But Pragya Thakur helped us. I pray to the mother goddess for her long life. I am very happy and grateful,” he told reporters, NDTV reported.
“Whenever we see the Bhopal MP, sister Pragya Thakur, play basketball and walking without support or dancing happily like this, it makes us happy…?” tweeted Narendra Saluja, a Congress spokesperson in Madhya Pradesh.
