Madhya Pradesh’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) minister Usha Thakur on Saturday (July 17) said those who want to click selfies with her must pay Rs 100 which will be deposited in the BJP’s coffers for party work. She called it a “time-consuming process” saying it leads to delays in her programmes.
“A lot of time gets wasted clicking selfies, and often we get late by hours for our programmes. From the (party) organizational point of view, we thought any person clicking a selfie (with her) should deposit Rs 100 in the treasury of the BJP’s local mandal unit,” she was quoted as saying by PTI.
Further, the state minister for culture also asserted she would not accept bouquets as only the “unblemished” Lord Vishnu can be offered flowers since Goddess Laxmi resides in them she is ready to accept books instead.
