Dr. SS Rajput a cardiovascular surgeon at Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences in Lucknow has rejected the claim of BJP's Bhopal candidate Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur that she was cured of breast cancer by using cow urine.
Speaking to The Hindu, Dr. Rajput said that he had operated Pragya first in 2008 at the Mumbai¡¯s JJ Hospital when she had developed a tumor in the right breast. She was operated once again in 2012 after the tumor recurred.

According to Dr. Rajput, Pragya had an aggressive form of stage-1 cancer and the surgery involved removing one-third of her right breast along with the tumor.
He also claimed that in 2017, after she was granted bail, a bilateral mastectomy was carried out where both her breasts were surgically removed at the Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences.
This directly contradicts Sadhvi Pragya's claimed that she treated her cancer with cow urine.

The absurd claim had caused much outrage, especially among the medical fraternity who accused her of promoting quackery.
Sadhvi Pragya, who is still an accused in the Malegaon blast case is out on bail and is contesting the Lok Sabha elections on a BJP ticket.
