Banshi Pahariya Jail News: It is a common belief that leaders do not care about anyone. They do not fear the law at all. They run business in the name of service. A wrong example is also given about public servants – 'If you do not go to jail, you cannot become a leader'. Be it a leader, MLA or MP or local councilor or the so-called young leader or senior leader roaming everywhere, you must have heard such things about everyone at some time or the other. Often there are strong reasons behind such examples.
