I am an apolitical Prime Minister. Apart from elections, I don't get involved into politics ever.

People's participation is the essence of good governance.

We need to make India capable, prosperous.

I have come from outside Delhi, but I give you an assurance that the people in the Government are very capable. I want to awaken and unite that power for the welfare of nation.

If there is education, there will be everything in life. Government can make roads, hospitals and also construct school buildings. But your homes can brighten up only if your children are educated. I am confident that if we focus on education, our society will certainly develop.

If your education is not enough, experience will teach you lessons.

The amount of respect with which I engage Saudi Arabia, I engage Iran with the same amount of respect. The amount of respect with which I speak to America, I speak to Russia with the same amount of respect.
