We try to run our government in Delhi by taking inspiration from the concept of 'Ram Rajya'. Every child in Delhi, whether rich or poor, should get good education. Every person, whether rich or poor, should get good treatment. Earlier there used to be long power cuts, now 24 hours free electricity is being provided...Today on this occasion, I wish all the Ram devotees present here a very happy Dussehra."
