The 'Idea of India' is an India of opportunity and aspiration. An India where: all are prosperous and happy, all are free from illness.

Development should be a mass movement. We need to integrate the people and make it a mass movement.

One should play and sweat. Life shouldn't be bogged down by books.

While 1857 was about 'Swaraj ki ladai', the 2014 elections would be about 'Surajya ki ladai'.

Make in India! By this, we mean we want to give low cost manufacturing, ease of business, skilled manpower. India is a land of huge possibilities & scope.

For me, the involvement of states in our national effort is not just because of their constitutional and legal responsibilities. It is also stems from a basic management principle. The chances of success are higher when we create a sense of participation for everyone; when we give everyone a stake in success.

Good days are upon us.
