There is a better half of a purohita heady with political clout, they say.

A billionaire who helped the purohita to climb to a high rung of political power has already distanced himself from the latter because of his bumptious wife.

The wife of the purohita had reportedly been misusing a deluxe vehicle the billionaire had loaned to the politico by taking her pet dogs in it to the veterinarian.

One day, the billionaire had got his goat when he found dog hair on the vehicle seats and had angrily remarked that someone had used the vehicle to transport dogs.

“Why do you want to know? It was I who took the dogs in the vehicle!” had been the insolent reply of the politico’s wife. This had led to a heated exchange between the two.

The billionaire had later left the residence of the purohita vowing not to step into it ever again, they say.
