He highlighted that there are scores of people who are still struggling to live a proper and well satisfied life in the State and that it is the Government's duty to think about the welfare and development of these people; "We must think on how bandhs or general strikes affect a poor family living in the State.
Let us try to uplift the lives of the people at the grassroots level," he added.
He appealed all the people of the State to give a chance to the present Government to serve the State and bring about an inclusive development.
On the discontentment of the people, the Chief Minister said that the State Government had tried its level best to find an amicable solution to many of the issues at the earliest.
However, if the situation is beyond the State Government's purview, the Government will pressure the Central Government to fix the problems.
"So we shouldn't harass the public in order to get some demand," Biren opined.
The Chief Minister further stated that the demand of MUTA and MUSU is genuine and the State Government has conveyed their demands to the Centre and to take up proper action over the issue so that academic atmosphere can be restored.
He expressed belief that a positive outcome would surely come at the earliest.
Speaking about the potential of the educated youth of the State, the Chief Minister said that the State Government has already started 'Start-Up' Policy to encourage the entrepreneurship skills of the youth.
In the "Go to Village" mission, out of 2007 villages of the State, above 800 villages have been covered in such a short period.
The GTV has been able to deliver various Government services at the doorsteps of the people, he added.
On the occasion, the Chief Minister spoke elaborately on the essence and relevance of observing Kargil Vijay Diwas in the country.
