"All of us (politicians) who come here come for five years. After five years, the people of the country decide whether to give us the reins of the country or not. In this sense, our term is five years but you come for 25-30 years because the constitution has faith in you. That's why I want to tell you that you have more responsibility than us."

He further said that the administration should run as per rule because it is very important but it is also important to consider the role of the particular department.

"If we understand this basic concept, we manage to solve most of the problems. We should not read rules like paper. We should understand its spirit and take decisions that are beneficial for the people of the country." (ANI)
