India is the Saudi Arabia of 21st century.

Democracy is about non-arbitrary decisions. Democracy is about spreading decisions; it is not about destroying processes.

I believe that a politician needs to be with people.

It is not important what Rahul Gandhi thinks, its important what a billion Indians think.

India absorbs things; India's not a divisive place.

I have an aim - I have a clear aim in my mind, and the aim is that I do not like what I see in Indian politics; it is something that is inside my heart.
