Mere good governance is not enough; it has to be pro-people and pro-active. Good governance is putting people at the center of development process.

A government is one that thinks and hears the voice of the poor. A government must live for the poor.

Development has to result in jobs. What we need is not just more production, but mass production and production by masses.

Terrorism is global and can come from even remote countries.

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.

We weren't lucky enough to sacrifice our lives for our country, but at least we can live for our country!

We have to see that all regions of India, particularly the east and west, are brought on par in development parameters.
