When I came back to India after Harvard Business School, I started as a lawyer and as a trade union leader.

Let me tell you, very frankly, when I went to the Harvard Business School I was more or less a committed socialist.

I think people respect governments that take decisions and act decisively.

Independence is a very subjective assessment.

I know my limitations. I live and work according to my limitations. And my party only two weeks ago has clearly declared that the leader of the party after Ms Sonia Gandhi will be Mr Rahul Gandhi. And all of us, including me, have expressed our solid support to Mr Rahul Gandhi.

All wisdom does not reside in Delhi.

Growth is a panacea for many ills in society; not entirely, but many.
