Why can’t we also live well? We are not even interested in public money but to expect us to remain poor and lifeless is so irrational (sic).”Take a look at the post here: Kangana Ranaut backs Maithili Thakur.Also Read: ‘India should be applauding him’: Ranveer Allahbadia hails Diljit Dosanjh after Wembley showWhat Maithili Thakur’s election affidavit saysThe discussion around Maithili Thakur’s finances also drew attention to the assets she declared in her election affidavit.
