It is an occasion to congratulate the winners. It will be our endeavour to work harder and reach out to people and continue to serve them best. We should also sit together go for self introspection and look out for the shortcomings.”
“I feel convinced that India’s strong secular edifice will stand test of the times and the hallmark of India’s polity will continue to be the unity in diversity,” the PCC chief maintained.
