India is the Saudi Arabia of 21st century.

For me, the Congress party is now my life, the people of India are my life, and I will fight for the people of India and for this party

We have unleashed aspirations of youngsters. Democracy is not going to go backwards. India is too big a country to be run by one person. We are going to accelerate the process of democratization and I think that is the biggest opportunity for Congress party because that is the DNA of the Congress

The Congress as I see, does not belong to me or to you, but it belongs to the whole country.

It (Congress) is a funny party. It is the largest political organization in the world but perhaps does not have a single rule or regulation. We create new rules every two minutes and then dump them. Nobody knows the rules in the party

I am going to make sure that transformation happens, and I will do it in ways you cannot even imagine.

If I am incompetent, I am useless, the people of India will see that.
