Enraged by this behavior and the corrupt political system he decides to fight against the system. He is helped by his girlfriend Lekha and few friends. Based upon this help he applies for a government scheme in which the person is entitled for loan approval on getting a well dug. By bribing all the officers in the loop, he manages to get the loan approved without even digging the well.
