These days, reading newspapers often leaves me disturbed. They are filled with reports of corruption, unemployment, pollution and violence, especially within my state. I feel disappointed at these issues and often wonder what I would do if I were the Chief Minister.

My first responsibility would be to improve the condition of the poor and needy. Even today, many people struggle to afford two meals a day. Farmers often face debts and hardships that push them to tragic decisions. I would create schemes to generate employment, support farmers and ensure that no family sleeps hungry.

Corruption is another deep-rooted problem in public life. I would launch strong anti-corruption cells directly accountable to me and strict action would be taken against dishonest officials. Honest officers would be rewarded so that sincerity becomes a culture in governance.

I would also make sure to stay connected with the people. Every day, I would set aside time to meet citizens and listen to their problems with empathy. I would ensure that officers act quickly to resolve grievances. While touring different parts of the state, my first priority would always be to interact with the common people and understand their real issues.

Administrative reforms would also be necessary. I would simplify government processes, remove unnecessary delays and make every department accountable for results. Special care would be taken to see that funds for welfare schemes actually reach the beneficiaries and are not misused.

Finally, as a leader, I would set an example of simple living, honest conduct and high thinking. Along with my team of ministers, I would try to show that politics can truly be a service to the people and not a means for personal gain.
