A humorous exchange
The intriguing interaction unfolded when Rajput stopped at a petrol station to refuel his vehicle. As he was filling up, Khare approached him and voiced his discontent about being unmarried. In a light-hearted tone, he remarked, “I was born on Karva Chauth, but there’s no one to observe it for me,”
MLA, surprised yet amused, responded with a chuckle, “Why did you choose me for this job?” To which Khare replied, “I voted for you.” This response seemed to tickle the MLA, who jokingly replied, “Okay, so I will have to get you married? Have you asked anyone else?”
As the conversation progressed, Rajput inquired about Khare’s preferences for a future spouse. The petrol pump worker candidly expressed that he did not want his bride to belong to a specific caste.
