It is expected that those who are in Beguarai will take the time to join me on this occasion.”
साथियों, कल मुझे लोकसभा चुनाव के लिए नामांकन करना है। यह चुनाव मैं अकेले नहीं लड़ रहा, बल्कि वे सभी मेरे साथ उम्मीदवार के तौर पर खड़े हैं जो शोषितों के अधिकारों के लिए संघर्ष कर रहे हैं। उम्मीद है जो साथी बेगूसराय में हैं वे समय निकालकर इस मौके पर मेरे साथ ज़रूर मौजूद रहेंगे। pic.twitter.com/zA1x0MEDqV
