He said that no matter how good an actor is, if the director is a flop then the film is never successful.

He said that BJP only played politics in the disaster and did not stand with the disaster affected families.

He said that the state government has decided to provide Rs 1500 as Samman Nidhi to women from April 1, 2024. Whereas BJP is trying to stop it by going to the Election Commission. He said that Rs 3000 will be given to women in the month of June.
