What will the country expect from those who steal poetry?
Pushyamitra has also retweeted the post of Congress State President Ajay Kumar Lallu, in which he shared the video of Priyanka Gandhi. Pushmitra wrote, ‘Priyankaji, I wrote this poem for the women of the country and not for your cheap politics. I neither support your ideology nor allow you to make political use of my literary assets. What will the country expect from those who steal poetry?’

Pushyamitra further said, ‘The message and call of the poem written on the Nirbhaya episode in 2012 is different and wider than your political frustrations. Political institutions are requested not to vitiate the essence of the poem by using it to fulfill petty political aspirations.

Pushmitra has received award from Hindi Sansthan for this poem.

Priyanka had said – there is a lot of cruelty in politics these days
On Wednesday, Priyanka interacted with the women at the Ramghat of Mandakini river by offering prayers at Matsyagajendranath temple in Chitrakoot. Here he said, ‘There is a lot of cruelty and violence in politics these days. The minister’s son crushed the farmers in Lakhimpur. The government helped the tyrant. Asha sisters were badly beaten up by the administration for raising their demands.

Priyanka further said, ‘When you are being exploited and you are being tortured, you will never get that right if you ask for your rights from those who beat you up. You have to fight for your right. Why carry forward the government which is not doing anything for you? At the same time, he used the poem of the poet Pushyamitra in his speech.
