At least in such times, one should know how to correct oneself. Anyway, we are all praying that mother somehow survives. Her life should be saved. She is also in a lot of pain. So I request all of you who are listening and those who perform Chhath Puja to include her in your prayers. She has given a very long time for her country and state. Therefore, it is important that she should get some more time. Just thank you for now, I will be present as and when things happen.''

This time it is very difficult. Just pray that she can come out of this. This is the real update. I have just met her. May Chhathi Maa bless. Right now when I met the doctors, they said that the case has suddenly worsened. Right now everyone is trying."
