" During the last 6 to 7 months my focus has been on the Organization, on politics and good governance. As an effective opposition, we have raised the issue of price rise within the Parliament, and have initiated a people's movement on Mehangai outside the Parliament. I have implemented the concept of good governance in the BJP ruled states, by ensuring that the welfare schemes and projects reach the last person on the social ladder."

"My track record is such that whenever I take up a task I always finish it successfully. I'm confident that we will form the government in 2014."
