“I requested an autograph,” Rita said.”I saw him hesitate a bit, but I insisted. He then wrote, ‘Rita Mudi tum sukhi raho (Stay well, Rita Mudi). Narendra Modi on a piece of paper. From the very next day, we started having a stream of visitors at our home. They all wanted to see the autograph,” Rita said.
Mother Sandhya said, “Not only visitors, we received two marriage proposals for Rita. One was from Jharkhand’s Tatanagar. The groom has his own business and had no demands. The second was from Bankura. The groom owns agricultural land. Both my daughters want to study. So we didn’t show much interest.”
Prior to this, the family had received a proposal for their daughter Rita but the groom had asked for Rs 1 lakh dowry. Rita’s father didn’t have the resource to provide it. Rita said, “Marriage will happen when my parents decide but I want to study now.”
