"Yesterday was Tuesday, the favourite day of Shri Hanuman Ji and it was also full moon. That's why the right thing was done on the right day and at the right place. I put desi cow dung at the shop where both country and foreign liquor was being sold." Uma Bharti said she discussed the issue of prohibition in Madhya Pradesh with thestate and national leadership of the party.
