00:00This mentality is to harm the country's infrastructure, the country's wealth.

00:07Every injury inflicted by this is an injury to the poor, to the common people of the country.

00:30I think it is important to mention one more mentality here, which we see during demonstrations

00:58This mentality is to harm the country's infrastructure, the country's wealth.

01:07We should remember that this infrastructure, this wealth does not belong to a leader, a party, or a government.

01:18This wealth belongs to the country, this wealth belongs to you, to the citizens of the country.

01:24This wealth belongs to the people.

01:26This wealth belongs to every poor person, to every loan-seeker, to every middle class, to every class of society.

01:32There is sweat and money behind this wealth.

01:37This wealth was given by the poor by cutting off their stomachs and that is how this wealth was made.

01:42Every injury inflicted by this is an injury to the poor, to the common people of the country.

01:50Therefore, while demonstrating our democratic rights, we should not forget our national responsibilities.

02:00Friends, the railway that is often targeted,

02:07how it serves the country in difficult situations,

02:14has been shown during the pandemic.

02:17To help those who are in trouble reach their villages,

02:23to take medicine and ration to every corner of the country,

02:28or to provide facilities such as corona hospitals on the way,

02:34the country will always remember the service of all the workers of the railway network.

02:44Not only this, but in this difficult time,

02:47the railway has also provided employment for more than one lakh days for the workers who have returned from the village.

02:56I am confident that this mission of unwavering efforts will continue for the prosperity of the nation.
