Mirchi Baba said , 'The saint is being stopped from offering prayers. Mahakal, have mercy and change this Chief Minister. Saints are suffering. Today a saint is shouting in your court. He is being implicated in false cases.’
‘Even after having a conversation with the Collector, I was stopped from visiting the temple as I always talk about Kamal Nath. BJP General Secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya was not stopped and I was stopped. Mahakaal will definitely punish them’, he added.
