We are from the very middle class family. We have not come from the English medium school. We came from our regional languages school.
I don't think the elite class is only speaking the good English.
I have seen in my life, I have struggled so much. I did not get support from anyone.
Our policy is very clear: whatever policy will suit the people, whatever policy will suit the circumstances, whatever policy will suit my state.
Our party, I can tell you, is very transparent; we believe in our credentials. Our credentials are our only credibility; we are not going to compromise on that; we are the commoners.
Few states, they have the international borders, state borders; in India, there is so much diversity in system. Unity in diversity is our system, so therefore, you cannot take for granted, whatever you do.

Unlike the Marxists, I have no mind block against the U.S.

We have talked about the infiltration problem but not mentioned any community.
