“I’m one the those young man of these days who is also inspired by the Loknayak Jai Prakash ji. When he will be seating at the center we hope the attention will be on those members who are seating at the center. Because most of the members belonging small parties, they have their seats at middle row and many times they complained that they are not given attention.
