What India needs most is a unified food law.

I have always believed that the ultimate purpose of economic policies and development policy is to meet the basic needs of our people. And for that, we need a fast-expanding economy.

Democracy is good for world peace.

I have to create in India a macroeconomic environment where the employment in aggregate can go up at a handsome rate. Once that happens, people losing jobs in one sector will not mean that they will become perpetually unemployed. From one sector, they can move on to other sectors.

I sincerely believe what happens in India has, I think, lessons, morals for the future evolution of humankind in the 21st century.

We got government off the backs of the people of India, particularly off the backs of India's entrepreneurs. We introduced more competition, both internal competition and external competition. We simplified and rationalized the tax system. We made risk-taking much more attractive.

I do believe that India is a unique case. And you need I think exceptional skills I think to incorporate Indian into the world nuclear order.
