Mayor appealed delegations that as the elections are coming near and people should vote for appropriate candidates.
“If they want the administrative machinery to run efficiently, they should not support corruption, should distance from those candidates who are exploiting sentiments of people on the basis of caste and should choose educated representatives,” he maintained.
He said that Indian Constitution says “We the people” that means public is supreme and we are living in a democracy and two things in democracy are important which are law of the land and procedure of the law.
In federal structure the public asks its representatives for developmental works and they in turn do those works as per law of the land and procedure of law.

He urged to promote democracy and progressive society and said that we should avoid emotional blackmailing and forwarding anything as it comes on social media without applying mind.
