A. Representatives have to dedicate themselves to constant work and service.

Explanation:

Representatives have to dedicate themselves to constant work and service.

Because, as a newly independent country, India needed such representatives who would work towards a better tomorrow and guarantee a comfortable present for the people of the nation. Moreover for a new nation, a weak economic condition is disastrous. And there was a need for continuous strive towards prosperity. In his speech he has asked for labour and work, to give their dreams a real feel. So that the nation they had dreamt of could become a reality. He also appealed to the people to join the representatives in this strive with a lot of faith and confidence.
