The first thing that I noticed was that there was no place in the new building where my wheelchair did not reach... I am happy that women's reservation is happening. It is a beautiful gift on Ganesh Chaturthi. Our democracy is for the people, of the people and by the people, and counting of people will be completed only when there is women's participation."
