Speaking as the chief guest, the Chief Minister said that Saheed Madhumangol's ideology "Nation-first and self-last" and his valuable contributions are indeed remarkable.
He appealed the people of the State to think for the larger interest of the society by leaving aside self-interest.
The CM further mentioned that the lust for power has ruined the region and whatever the people encounter today is the product of what they did in the past.
If one performs one's duty responsibly then there would be peace and development in the State, he added.

The new Government is a ray of hope in overcoming such menace as well as other problems present in the State, he added.

Things have changed in the State, he said and added that the people are raising the slogan "We are One" from every corner of the State now.
Stating the significance of remembering great and visionary leaders of the State, Chief Minister N Biren assured that the Government would discuss organising such functions as a State level function in the future.
