“Just after my fast, I met a BJP leader who suggested that I will need a lot of money, depending on current system of politics. His suggestion was that if I wanted to fight Ibobi, I will need Rs 36 crore. If I have it, I should use it, if not, the Centre would sanction it… ,” she said in an interview.
