“That is taking place for the primary time within the nation. The priest is a category that has carried ahead the rituals from era to era. They by no means paid consideration to their household and we by no means paid consideration to them,” he mentioned.
“We all know how pujaris serve us. Be it the birthday of our child or the dying of a cherished one, they’ve at all times linked us with God. However they by no means gave consideration to their very own households, and neither did we pay sufficient consideration to them. That is taking place for the primary time within the nation. We now have accomplished many works within the nationwide capital which occurred for the very first time. We improved faculties and hospitals and made bus journey for ladies. I simply hope that the BJP and the Congress governments will be taught from this and can implement such schemes within the state run by them,” he added additional.
