As a worker, we used to fill water and take to the office and used to do all the work ourselves. At that time cycle was the only means of transport. We used to move along the streets of Bhopal on bicycle. He mentioned the way in which Saligramji, who was the head of the Parishad, got the work done and said that this office too will work to connect the society and build the nation like before.
