How would you describe your first-year experience?

The year has been fruitful. I got the opportunity to participate in debates. I raised the issue in the House that the farmers of my constituency in particular have been suffering owing to the illegal influx of Chinese garlic. I also raised the issues of strengthening the rail network in Himachal Pradesh, four-laning of the road to Baddi, financial assistance for victims of natural disasters in the state and bringing apple crop under crop insurance scheme.

What was the high point of the year for you personally and your party in the House?
