Ganesh Joshi Becomes Emotional
While speaking at the event, Joshi recalled his journey and said, “I never imagined this in my life. I was just a soldier in the army. When I became an MLA, my name was discussed for a ministerial position, but I was not chosen. Then, I went to meet Amit Shah Ji. He asked me if I was okay. I told him, ‘Sir, I am fine, but I have no godfather.’ I hope you (Shah) remember this.”
