‘We are economically prosperous but they do administrate. Our community is hard-working and if our people sit in administration and if we have more and more people of our community in administrative posts of class-1, class-2, and above cadres, then in totality the society and the state will benefit from that. I request to come forward and provide guidance, coaching, and economical support to candidates.’
