She clarified that she does not nurture any political ambition but if provided an opportunity she will work for the people sincerely.
“During my 20 months tenure election code of conduct was in force due to Assembly, Council and Lok Sabha elections. Hence developmental activities suffered. Despite this the 12 months of time that I had received have been fruitful and has brought me great satisfaction,” she said.

There is an immediate need to implement various programmes for the welfare of the tribals.
“Though a total of Rs 1 crore was ear marked for Comprehensive Tribal Development Programme, it could not be implemented effectively due to the lack of officials,” she said.
