After the prayers, Tiwari said he had been given an opportunity by the party to serve the people of Datia.

“Maa Pitambara has called me for service. The party has asked me to go and serve the people. With the blessings of the goddess and guidance from senior leaders, we will work for the development of the region,” he said.
