The elements are unnerved because they are deprived of public support, he added. The chief minister said that politics of chaos steps the country backward and there is a need to shun such undemocratic behaviour by adopting a positive approach for the sake of the country. He emphasised that the designs of the elements creating anarchy in the country will never be succeeded and the durable development, attained in a short period of time, will not be succumbed to negative politics.

He maintained that the most transparent government is setting new records of public service while the rejected political elements are bent upon taking revenge from the people by slowing down the development process to take revenge of their failures.
