C T Ravi sounds pessimistic about BJP coming back to power

Responding to a query on BJP heading into the last phase of its five year term in power in the state, Mr.Ravi showed signs of lack of confidence of victory in the polls and a successive term as the ruling party in the state.

“There is no dearth of dreams. We can sow as many seeds of dreams in the soil of this land as we want. But we cannot say we will be the ones who will reap the harvest for sure”, he said.

Hailing the country's democratic set up, Mr. Ravi said on the occasion that he is fortunate to have got a chance to hoist the national flag in his capacity as the district in charge minister. “I used to visit this ground in my younger days to listen to the speeches of leaders like Vajpayee and the like. Never had I thought that one day I would be hoisting the national flag here and deliver a speech myself. It is the system of democracy of our country, that has enabled an ordinary man like me to get this opportunity”, he said.
