If an industrialist can sell his products anywhere in India and the world, why should a farmer not be allowed to do so?

I entered politics in 1967; since then, continuously, I am getting elected... Fortunately I never lost the elections.

In my long innings, I have seen many sunrises and many sunsets; many good and bad times.

I am fully aware that everybody has a right to succeed, and success should be with ethics.

In politics one should not expect big jumps. Everything takes time.

I think criticism of good work should stop somewhere.

I could never muster the courage to speak to girls in my college in Pune. Most of them were Parsis and spoke English. I came from a village and could barely converse in English.
