“Today I am here to remind you of your power. We often discuss the changes that we want to see in our city – better roads, clean surroundings and smarter development. But remember change doesn’t happen by opinion. It happens by action. On January 15, 2026, we have a massive opportunity with municipal corporation elections taking place that decide the future of our daily lives and local governance. I urge you all to step out and vote.”
