Mondal also took credit of ushering development in the Phulbari constituency. He said, “In my period of time, the connectivity in villages, the new roads all were done during My time. All the villages are connected by me only. Moreover, I want to tell one thing. There was devastating flash floods in 2014. Most of the roads were washed away. There was no roads. We had completely reconstructed the roads.”

He said, “Because my emphasis was on education and it has to be quality education and that is how Phulbari became a small educational hub in the plain area. Students from Mahendraganj and far flung areas they come and study in Phulbari because we have changed the system and infrastructure. There are quality teachers and we will continue with that. Not only one school, but all school buildings have been reconstructed. We have smart classrooms in some schools, these were all done during my time.”

Not only this, AT Mondal also said that he has worked hard for making the administration more people friedly. In this regard he said, “As far as administration is concerned, people had to run from pillar to post for something as small as a certificate, that is why we got a block which is hardly 3kms from my residence.”

Meanwhile, AT Mondal is also quite confident of his victory in the upcoming elections. He said,”Winnability chances of course all depends on the Almighty but having faith in the Almighty it is cent percent chances.”
