After Thakur met her at her residence in Shyamla Hills area here, Bharti said Pragya’s victory was a certainty.

“The day Didi Maa’s (as she called Thakur) candidature was announced, it was decided that the BJP will win with a huge margin,” Bharti told reporters with Thakur by her side.

“Whatever the party says, I will do. Those who are looking after Didi Maa’s election management, they will do as they say. I feel she won the election on day one. We are just fighting…To prove ourselves, seeking votes for her. She has already won,” she said.

Thakur was also seen crying as Bharti came out to see her off. Bharti held her in embrace for some time and kissed her on the forehead. She also touched Thakur’s feet.
