Good to see the VP visiting various sections personally. This kind of ground-level interaction boosts morale and shows that leadership cares about the people who make the system work.
The Diwali greetings exchange between VP and PM shows the beautiful traditions of our democracy. Wishing all the parliamentary staff a very Happy Diwali! 🪔
While I appreciate the gesture, I hope such visits translate into better working conditions and timely promotions for the staff. Often these interactions remain symbolic without real change.
The VP remembering police personnel on Commemoration Day shows he understands the importance of all public servants. Our police forces truly deserve our gratitude for their sacrifices.
From Table Office to Reporters' Branch - these are the real engines of our democracy. Glad to see them getting the attention they deserve. Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
