“The democracy our governors, president are enjoying some people fought for it. Let us know if we are in a military regime.

“As a president how on earth will you think the opening of toll gate is one of the things to do, till now what justice has come out from that panel. You are bullying youth representatives at the panel. How on earth do you think opening this toll gate is the next line of action.
