Indian Leaders

I know some people say I can be funny. But there is always a deeper meaning to what I say. I am a socialist at heart and have the interests of the poor in mind. When people see how I manage to work my way out of tough situations, it gives them hope in their own life.

My mother always told me not to handle a buffalo by its tail, but always catch it by its horns. And I have used that lesson in everything in my life, including the Railways. 

Wagon is the bread-earning horse of the Railways. Load it adequately. Make it run and don't stable it.

I've not given them (the poor people of Bihar) heaven, but I've given them a voice.

Indian Railways is the responsibility of Lord Vishwakarma. So is the safety of passengers... It is His duty, not mine. I have been forced to don His mantle.

I work so much. If I don't get all the comforts, I will turn mad.

Why should I tell you where I am going to get funds from? If I were to do that then all the vested interests would get alerted. You must be aware that railways are full of such elements and my fight is against them.

You think that the poor and oppressed people of Bihar will ever forget Lalu Yadav? I am the only one who has done something for them. The people know that. They also know that the rest (of the political class) are useless.

I do not rule out the possibility of being prime minister of India one day, but there is still time.

Our mass movement will shatter this communal, fascist and autocratic center. 

The lower caste people were killed as part of a conspiracy to dismiss my party's government. 

 Today in India there are all sections of people, as the BJP realized when the poor voted them out. 

Musharraf is a good man and wants to improve relations with India. 

My mother always told me not to handle a buffalo by its tail, but always catch it by its horns. And I have used that lesson in everything in my life, including the Railways.
