Addressing a gathering in his father’s Assembly constituency, Shanthinagara, Nalapad turned emotional and said, "Before going to jail, I did not know anything about the problems of common people and the poor. I did not know about water scarcity. My life was luxurious without any worries. I faced water shortages in jail. It helped me to understand the life of ordinary people. If anyone understands the water shortage better today, it is me. I will try my best to help you people in getting better civic amenities."

He said that the days that he spent in jail had taught him some lessons about the hardships of life. Apologising to his grandfather and father publicly, Nalapad said, "My grandfather suffered a lot because of me. I caused him so much pain. I will never hurt him again."
