The flood which ravaged the region in 1995 forced to devote all his time and energy serving people. During the same time, he arranged relief work for the people in Sonepat and nearby places. He also organized medical assistance for the district.
Politics was never been a cup of tea for him but he was forced by the overwhelming support from the farmers, artisans, intellectuals cutting across castes & sectarian belief.

Thus, a budding and youthful social worker was relived as representative of masses.
