He criticized the Congress for its retaliatory statements against women voters, labeling it as deception and fraud. Raman Singh identified the significant shift in women’s voting patterns, reflecting a vote for change.

Responding to the cancellation of trains, Raman Singh attributed it to temporary arrangements. He reassured that once the tracks are complete, all issues will be resolved, emphasizing ongoing communication with the railway authorities.
