A signature of Prime Minister Narendra Modi has landed a girl 2 marriage proposals.
And never did the Bankura Christian College second year student thought that the autograph will make her a celebrity in her village, some 230 km away from Kolkata, West Bengal.
The autograph had landed the 19-year-old with 2 proposals.
On July 16, Rita Mudi had travelled to Midnapore with her mother and sister to hear Modi speak. They sat below a tent that subsequently collapsed. They were rushed to the hospital. The PM later came visiting and spoke to Rita, among others.
“That day at the hospital when the PM came to my bedside, I told him how happy I was to see him,” she said.
“I requested an autograph,” Rita said.”I saw him hesitate a bit, but I insisted. He then wrote, ‘Rita Mudi tum sukhi raho (Stay well, Rita Mudi). Narendra Modi.’ on a piece of paper.”
“From the very next day, we started having a stream of visitors at our home. They all wanted to see the autograph,” Rita said.
Mother Sandhya said: “Not only visitors, we received two marriage proposals for Rita. One was from Jharkhand’s Tatanagar. The groom has his own business and had no demands. The second was from Bankura. The groom owns agricultural land. Both my daughters want to study. So we didn’t show much interest.”
Before this, the family had received a proposal for Rita but the groom had asked for Rs 1 lakh dowry. Rita’s father didn’t have the means to provide it. Rita said, “Marriage will happen when my parents decide but I want to study now.”
