I do not rule out the possibility of being prime minister of India one day, but there is still time.

When people see how I manage to work my way out of tough situations, it gives them hope in their own life.

Wagon is the bread-earning horse of the Railways. Load it adequately. Make it run and don't stable it.

I know some people say I can be funny. But there is always a deeper meaning to what I say. I am a socialist at heart and have the interests of the poor in mind. When people see how I manage to work my way out of tough situations, it gives them hope in their own life.

My mother always told me not to handle a buffalo by its tail, but always catch it by its horns. And I have used that lesson in everything in my life, including the Railways.

The Sangh Parivar, against which I had been waging a war, misled the people. My opponents used the Election Commission and the bureaucracy to win a political battle.

In my view, Indian Railways has immense untapped potential.
