मैं रोशनी थी मुझे फैलते ही जाना था,
वो बुझ गए जो समझते रहे चिराग़ मुझे!!!

आज संविधान के अनुसार विधान सभा में शपथ ली.
आगे बड़ा और मुश्किल रास्ता तय करना है हरियाणा में खिलाड़ी, किसान, मजदूरों, महिलाओं की आवाज सड़क से विधान सभा तक मिलकर बुलन्द करेंगे.
जय हरियाणा, जय सविंधान। 🙏 pic.twitter.com/MYYWkbePOe
