When Rahul Gandhi called, Chetram said, "Sahib Namaste".

In turn, Chetram said, "Master, you have raised us to great heights". On this, Rahul Gandhi said, "Don't call me master, call me brother".

After this, Chetram said, "Ok Bhaiya". "On this, Rahul Gandhi asked about the machine. Chetram said that it was very good. My family is very happy. Chetram said please give me darshan once.

Recently, while returning from Sultanpur, I met shoemaker Ramchet ji on the way, he lovingly sent me a very comfortable and excellent shoe made by him. There are crores of such talents with different skills in every corner of the country. If these 'India makers' get the necessary support, they can change not only their fate but also the fate of the country.:
