I became a member of the same council in 1969. For many years, I was also active in trade associations and served as the president of the guild council. I was accustomed to these activities, acting honestly and in the interest of the people. In one of the city council elections, out of 24,000 participants, 21,900 voted for me; I still have the documents, endorsed by the governor and city notables, to prove it. At that time, when I received 21,000 votes, Karaj had a population of approximately 300,000. Now, with a population of three million, candidates do not receive that many votes, even though they are elected under the same conditions. I lived a life close to the people, which resulted in my leading the polls without any advertising expenses or force. I had formidable competitors, like Mr. Aalikhani, who was father of the Minister of Economy, Mr. Mahmoud Kamali, a well-known figure, and Dr. Riahi, the dean of the Agriculture College in Karaj; none had as many votes as I did. Serving the people has this impact; I tirelessly worked for the people and served them sincerely.<\/p><p>The same happened in the commerce council elections, where I didn&#8217;t receive a single opposing vote. In the guild council, fifty different trades were divided into fourteen groups. For example, painters, bodyshop workers, electricians, etc., were part of the automobile repair group; restaurants, butchers, food vendors, and the like were in another group. All fourteen groups unanimously voted for me, which was recorded in the credential.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c6d634 e-grid e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"2c6d634\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cb80836 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"cb80836\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-511abca elementor-post-navigation-borders-yes ahura-dark-mode-filter-texts-no elementor-widget elementor-widget-post-navigation\" data-id=\"511abca\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"post-navigation.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<link rel=\"stylesheet\" href=\"https:\/\/dangofang.org\/wp-content\/plugins\/elementor-pro\/assets\/css\/widget-theme-elements-rtl.min.css\">\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__prev elementor-post-navigation__link\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/dangofang.org\/en\/let-your-sister-to-marry-him\/\" rel=\"prev\"><span class=\"post-navigation__arrow-wrapper post-navigation__arrow-prev\"><i class=\"fa fa-angle-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Prev<\/span><\/span><span class=\"elementor-post-navigation__link__prev\"><span class=\"post-navigation__prev--label\">prevoius story<\/span><span class=\"post-navigation__prev--title\">Let your sister to marry him!<\/span><\/span><\/a>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__separator-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__separator\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__next elementor-post-navigation__link\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/dangofang.org\/en\/city-water-supply-line\/\" rel=\"next\"><span class=\"elementor-post-navigation__link__next\"><span class=\"post-navigation__next--label\">Next Story<\/span><span class=\"post-navigation__next--title\">City water supply line<\/span><\/span><span class=\"post-navigation__arrow-wrapper post-navigation__arrow-next\"><i class=\"fa fa-angle-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Next<\/span><\/span><\/a>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Around 1961, my father joined the city council and served for several terms.
