Madhya Pradesh state cabinet minister Sajjan Singh Verma has opined that BJP MP Pragya Thakur will become the reason for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's downfall. "I got to know that girls shouted slogans like 'throw the terrorist out' on seeing her (Pragya Thakur). Children are seeing Pragya on TV, that she is fighting on a plane, or on a train and even on the roads. She is behaving as though she is above the President now. She will surely become the reason for Narendra Modi's downfall".

Pragya Thakur had visited to meet the girl students who were protesting over an attendance issue in the university. However, after facing the slogans raised against her she asserted that she will take action against those involved in the sloganeering.

"The NSUI members raised slogans that I am a terrorist. These slogans are illegal and undignified. Abusing someone who occupies a constitutional post and insulting a woman sanyasi is anti-national in nature. I will definitely act on this. We cannot have mercy on anarchic elements, else they will grow in number. Action is necessary," she said.
