‘I know it's a big responsibility. I have to start from zero over that ministry. After learning all that, should start after understanding the things from the panel appointed by the Prime Minister. I feel like joining the UKG.
If the price of petrol is to come down, there must be a sufficient source. There are rumors that there is such a possibility on the banks of Kaveri and then in Kollam. A Malayali minister is sitting in this room. After examining the matter in Kollam and move forward, will definitely do so. Will discuss with the Prime Minister and make Kerala the center of Indian tourism.
