Collector: I want clean sweep of Congress. I am calling the RO(Returning Officer) of Dehariya. Puja, if you want the charge of SDM, then make BJP win in Jaitpur.
Deputy Collector: Okay mam, I will manage. But, there won’t be an enquiry right?
Collector: I am there. If you work hard, as soon as BJP government is formed, you will be made SDM.
