New Delhi, Apr 21: The eight-year-old girl is already claimed to be a prodigy. A known face in religious functions in the city, Sadhana Bharati, is now a star campaigner for Congress.
A regular fixture in the party's ‘Nyay Rath Yatra’ doing
the rounds of constituencies in Delhi, Sadhana rattles off
speeches attacking the "feel good" slogan of the NDA
government.
Attending four to five public meetings in a day, Sadhana, who has been reciting "shlokas" at religious functions since she was barely two-and-a-half years old, says she likes it when the people clap for her.
Sitting in the office of the Delhi unit of Congress after a long day of meetings, the girl, small for her age but with confidence of a grown-up, says, "I don't get tired. I like giving speeches. Everywhere I go, people clap for me."
And as if guessing what the next question will be, she says the campaigning is not harming her studies as her exams are over and the new session has only just begun. It is also no wonder that for a child who has been promoted as a prodigy blessed by Goddess Saraswati, there should be a divine angle to the story.
Sadhana says she saw Lord Krishna in her dream telling her that the evil Kauravas tried to wrest the kingdom from the righteous Pandavas but were ultimately defeated.
