    We have to appreciate that our community people have taken courage in participation in Election campaign and won the seats. This is an eye opener to our catholics to participate in the Panchayat, Taluk level election and they can do sincere work in their areas so that we can join our hands in nation building activities with truthfulness and sincerity and render our helping hand to the down trodden and oppressed brotheren irrespct of religion or caste.

    REALLY IT IS A GOOD SIGN IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE THE PEOPLE NEVER TAKE INTEREST IN POLITICS DUE TO OUR RELIGIOUS PRINCIPLES. NOWADAYS WE HAVE TO ADJUST ACCORDING TO THE SITUATION. IN OUR COMMUNITY SELF SECRIFICE AND SOCIAL WORK IS THE BASIC TEACHINGS IN OUR RELIGION AND IT ENHANCE THE INTEREST IN POLITICS.
    WE PRAY TO ALMIGHTY TO BLESS AND GIVE COURAGE TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TAKEN THE STEPS IN POLITICS.
