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

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

Whatever I feel, I say frankly.

I think criticism of good work should stop somewhere.

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

I am used to controversies.

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