Addressing an open court at his residence in Model Town here Sunday, he said that he would work for the masses as their chief servant. The Chief Minister assured the people of dispensation of justice, elimination of mafias, equal rights to every citizen and ensuring honour and respect of womenfolk. "I will make it sure that even if an influential person commits crime he must be taken to task and I will do stand with helpless and hapless people to protect their rights," he added.
