the thumb impression

If I don't go ahead in my old age,

I'll be known as a fool

Then forget the Panchayat dad

If I'm ignorant I've had it

I've already fixed

three members for you

at least 5 members amongst...

...the 9 of the Panchayat

And you will also be

involved as a Sarpanch

Has my daughter-in-law signed

You're involving the

whole family in it

will fight tooth and nail

because the Panchayat has powers.

Every vote has value. And

we've to create our strength

That is why every

candidate should belong to us.

Oh...

I'd forgotten. No...

...it's not right...

...it will save our honour

we're cashing on her name

What about Bhanwar's wife?

I've heard she's studied in college

Yes Bhanwar is my friend

votes of his caste too
