"He is honest and would work towards the betterment of the village.We would cooperate with him in all possible ways and would also seek government's help for him." said Hari Om Tyagi , a villager. Dharamvir defeated his opponent Suraj Julahe,who belongs to the upper caste, by 58 votes.It is because of Dharamvir's efforts that his younger brother became an engineer. He is very enthusiastic about his new responsibilities and claims that now he would ask the state government to grant funds for the development of his village. "I will not stop begging even now but this time I will try to get more funds from the government for the development of the village." Dharamvir says. The villagers, who supported Dharamvir, faced the wrath of the upper caste during the run-up to the polls, but this did not prevent a beggar from making his mark.
