The Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi, shared a Sanskrit Subhashitam highlighting the the essence of people's representative:

"प्रजासुखे सुखं राज्ञः प्रजानां च हिते हितम्।

नात्मप्रियं प्रियं राज्ञः प्रजानां तु प्रियं प्रियम्॥"

प्रजासुखे सुखं राज्ञः प्रजानां च हिते हितम्।

नात्मप्रियं प्रियं राज्ञः प्रजानां तु प्रियं प्रियम्॥"
