In yet another bizarre comment made by an Indian minister over the coronavirus pandemic, MP Imarti Devi believes she is immune to COVID-19 because she is born in gobar (cow dung) and mitti (mud).
“I am born in mud and cow dung. Corona cannot come to me,” Imarti Devi, Minister of Women and Force Development of the state, told reporters angrily amid rumours doing rounds that she has tested positive for the infection.
She even pointed to her mask, hanging by the chin, saying she is wearing it forcefully.
MP minister Imarati Devi claims she can't get #COVID__19 as she was born in "cow dung and soil".
