A video of Bharatiya Janata Party Lok Sabha member Sanghmitra Maurya went viral where the MP can be seen bursting into tears while sharing stage with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on April 2 in Budaun.
The BJP has not given ticket to Ms. Maurya, who is the daughter of Swami Prasad Maurya, for the Lok Sabha elections. Mr. Adityanath was in the district for “Prabudh Varg Conference”. The BJP has fielded Durvijay Singh Shakya.
However, she later cleared that her tears weren’t an outcome of her being denied a ticket. “My eyes became moist after Gulab Devi ji (State government minister), who was sitting next to me, narrated the story of King Dasharatha from Ramayana in a very emotional manner,” Ms. Maurya said.
