He guided the students and informed, “You have to increase your patience, keep clam and give time for things to improve. Have heart-to-heart talk with the citizens, relate to their problems and find government policies that can give solutions to them. There are many policies of poor, women as well as economically backward people, which have to be studied by the politicians and informed to the needy on timely basis. Read autobiographies of great politicians, study the constitution of India which is one of the best constitutions in the world.” To become a 21st century politician one more quality is needed is to know the social media properly, pointed Bawankule.
