The Congress is a power-oriented party.

Whether some may like it or not, I am still the farmer that I was born as and will continue to be one.

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

Marriage is no substitute for political experience.

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

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

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