Worship of daughters is an eternal ritual. Yesterday, the whole country was worshiping daughters. I also worshiped daughters of MP. But you call the worship of daughters as drama and gimmick. People with bad thoughts like you are not able to tolerate the worship of daughters and respect for daughters.” “Only who has a pure feeling and values Indian culture in his mind can do this”, he added. Replying to the CM’s claim, MP Congress president Kamal Nath said, “Shivraj ji, I had never dreamed that you would start doing vote politics even on a sacred religious and spiritual work like Kanya Puja. If you are so concerned about Congress’s Kanya Puja, then what is the need to ask our national leaders?” “But you will not do all this because you do not have faith in spirituality, religion and tradition. Your faith is only in votes and politics,” Nath added. “Exciting news!
