Shanti refused a lot of marriage proposals
Om Shanti Sharma stated: "I was married earlier, but the relation didn't last long. I am alone since past many years. I refused a lot of marriage proposals, and now I am here to marry Narendra Modi."
Respect for Modi
PM Modi needs help; He is alone like me: Shanti
When asked why she launched a sit-in, Shanti said people would not otherwise allow her to meet PM Modi. Shanti added that she wants to marry Modi not because she has a thing for him but because she respects him. Shanti said she had been taught to respect elders and help them in their work, adding, "I want to do my bit and help."
Jantar Mantar
Ready to face batons, won't leave this place: Shanti
Shanti uses the public toilet at Jantar Mantar and eats at gurudwaras/temples while continuing her sit-in to marry PM Modi. She is worried about National Green Tribunal's order to shift protest venue; she doesn't know what to do if she is removed from Jantar Mantar. However, she added, "I will remain on a sit-in till the time Modi Ji comes to meet me."
