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.

For the first time in the history of Bihar, I provided a stable government. Despite being denied funds by the Centre, Bihar survived on its resources. I provided pucca dwellings to half a million Dalit families.

It is because of me that today the union government has sanctioned special funds for the development of Bihar.

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

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.

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

In a democracy, power is not permanent.
