Addressing an election rally in Indore on 12 May, Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the Lok Sabha Speaker Sumitra Mahajan for her "dedication" towards work and said that she was the only BJP leader who could admonish him.
“As the Lok Sabha speaker, ‘Tai’ (as Mahajan is popularly known in the constituency) has carried out her duties in a skillful and controlled way. It is because of this, she has left an indelible impression on the minds of people.”Prime Minister Narendra Modi
