He promised a bright future for Jabalpur in terms of industry, employment and development focusing needs of citizens in future generation. Tankha said around 10,000 youth are bound to migrate to other cities in search of employment. As well as a large number of people form Mahakoshal region are bound to go to other cities for medical facilities as in past three decades no initiative have been taken to upgrade medical facilities.
