Hours after her husband Pravin Mahajan was sentenced to life imprisonment by a sessions court in Mumbai, Sarangi, said she did not need help from the Mahajan family or the Munde family.
8220;I don8217;t need any Mahajan or Munde. I am ready for the struggle and I have prepared my children for the same,8221; said a consciously composed Sarangi.
8220;I will file an appeal in the High Court. Right now my priority is to save my husband and look after my children 8212; Kapil and Vrushali,8221; she added, trying hard not to break down.
Pravin Mahajan was on Tuesday sentenced to a life term for murdering his elder brother and BJP general secretary Pramod Mahajan on April 22 last year. Pramod had succumbed to his injuries 12 days later at a city hospital.
Sarangi also said that she had full support from both her brothers Prasad and Shailendra Pulliwar, who stood by her throughout the trial.
8220;Whatever happens, I have to fight.8221;
When asked about future plans in politics, she said, 8220;I have not yet thought about politics. But we have some money saved with which we can live comfortably.8221;
She also expressed relief saying, 8220;At least Pravin has not been awarded death8221;.
8220;I am mentally prepared and I have prepared my children also for the struggle ahead,8221; she said.
Prasad said later that his first priority was to make his sister8217;s family independent and move ahead.
