No one can catch me as long as MR is President

Catch me if you can: You will lose one vote, if you do, Mr. president.

I am a doctor and I look after the government’s health: Why should anyone want to catch me?

Prabha was also under the same impression.

They say, ‘Set a thief to catch a thief’

I care for no one and no one cares for me.

I’ll never visit Rupavahini Corporation, as I learnt the lesson of my life there.

I know the President will always protect me.
