| Congratulations to the newly elected members!! It is a well organized programme with positive mind and friendly atmosphere without showing any political party affiliations. Such programmes are extremely healthy that exhibits unity among the people of various faith and political party beliefs. Yes, lots of developments needed and deserved...let us have faith in them and we too should support them since wonders can happen with mutual support and interaction... Well it is easy to criticize in the air...it takes a lot for constructive criticism and action. Let's take example of MESCOM protest regarding cash payments which is the right criticism and action... Someone should find a new way of felicitation without using flowers, fruits and garlands...probably according to some, new way is call and shout at the elected reps...for winning the elections....? who elected them and for what purpose? we or outsiders ?? | |

| who organised this function? I dont think "the sarvajanik". From where the money came for the rented auditorium.Its the public money. If the function would have organised in panchayat vatara how good it could have been. | |

It is the time to execute your plans(if there are any!!! or whatever you have promissed to the local people) into actions...
