India is a democracy; it is in our DNA. As far as the different political parties are concerned, I firmly believe that they have the maturity and wisdom to make decisions that are in the best interests of the nation.
If you were to ask me whether you need a dictatorship to run India, No, you do not. Whether you need a powerful person who believes in concentrating power, No, you do not. If you were to ask me to choose between democratic values and wealth, power, prosperity and fame, I will very easily and without any doubt choose democratic values.
Respecting religions is not simply a question of universal tolerance; it is a question of believing that all religions are true.
I have always believed in development over votebank politics.
Urbanisation is not a crisis but an opportunity, seeing it as a crisis is wrong. And not just villages, we want everyone to get opportunities wherever they are staying. Aatma gaav ki ho aur suvidha sheher ki ho, this is what we believe.
Secularism is not only in our constitution but also in our veins. We worship Mother Nature too. We believe that the world is our family.
I don't believe UPA government did nothing; they did whatever they could and they deserve appreciation for whatever good they did.
We believe in Sarva Pantha Sambhav. We believe 'the truth is one, there are ways to reach it.
The greatest quality that a person can possess is the quality of self-belief. If you believe you can, you can. If you believe you won't, you most certainly won't.
If we blend efficiently democracy, demographic demand & demand, I believe that there will be a Vasco Da Gama on every street who will come searching for India.
I believe less in my ability & more in the ability of the one who comes to meet me. That's the speciality of my work style.
When I speak of Team India I believe that the foundation for India's development will not be the single pillar of the Central Government, but 30 pillars comprising the Central Government and all our States.
Firmly believe that terrorism, in any shape or form, is against humanity. There should be zero tolerance towards terrorism.
From my intimate discussions with President Obama, it is evident that India figures significantly in American geo-political, economic and strategic thinking. India is the largest democracy in the world.
