1 crore people in 26 days? That's impressive numbers if true. Hope this isn't just another political stunt and actual problems are being solved on ground.

As a Bengal resident, I appreciate this effort. The camp in my locality helped many get ration card issues sorted. But implementation needs to be consistent, not just during campaigns.

Visiting from UK and impressed with this grassroots approach. Wish we had similar direct citizen-government engagement programs back home. Democracy in action!

Good initiative but the real test is follow-up. Many camps promise solutions but files get stuck in bureaucracy later. Hope this time it's different.

My mother got her pension issue resolved within 3 days through this camp! 😊 More states should adopt such people-friendly governance models. #ParticipatoryDemocracy
