How to enter public life. On this question, the Chief Minister said that after independence, CP Berar state was formed whose capital was Nagpur. At this time our grandfather was a nominated MLA. Elder father was also MLA from Tapkara. A member of the family, Shri Narhari Prasad Sai, was the Union Minister of State for Communications in the Shri Morarji Desai government.
When he was ten years old, his father disappeared. At that time I did not think that I would enter public life. It was definitely thought that he would become a good farmer. Took a lot of guidance from Late Shri Dilip Singh Judev Ji. He was ideal. I have never seen him angry in 25 years, I have learned the quality of humility from him. Balkrishna Sharma was also my idol, people knew him as Devaki Maharaj. He was the guru of late Shri Judev ji.

When I was an MP, for the first time the Ministry of Skill Development was formed in the Government of India and the work of skill development of youth started so that new opportunities could be created for the youth. Will strengthen block wise ITI and start new trades. Under Modi’s guarantee, we have said that we will recruit one lakh posts. It has been decided to investigate the PSC 2021 exam.
