Extreme cruelty against the government

The people get an opportunity to evaluate the government through the progress report. The administration has been brought up to the people's liking. The previous government worked amid many difficulties. Those who were obliged to help in disaster situations were unable to move forward. With the continuation of the administration, the government had to experience more drastic crises than natural calamities. No other state faced such brutality. The approach of not giving the rightful share was corrected by approaching the court.
