I am going to make sure that transformation happens, and I will do it in ways you cannot even imagine.
It is the time to move ahead and bring the change
We need to empower everybody, not one person, not almost everybody, but everybody.
The Congress as I see, does not belong to me or to you, but it belongs to the whole country.
Nobody can refuse a person who comes and asks for a job. Nobody can refuse a poor man when he goes and asks for food. Nobody can stop any Indian if he asks a question of his government. This is what the Congress party and the UPA have done over the last 10 years.
Democracy is about non-arbitrary decisions. Democracy is about spreading decisions; it is not about destroying processes.
If India is computer, Congress is its default program.
For me, the Congress party is now my life, the people of India are my life, and I will fight for the people of India and for this party
Politics is everywhere.. it is in your shirt.. in your pants.. everywhere.
We have unleashed aspirations of youngsters. Democracy is not going to go backwards. India is too big a country to be run by one person. We are going to accelerate the process of democratization and I think that is the biggest opportunity for Congress party because that is the DNA of the Congress
It doesn't matter how much wisdom you have. If you don't have position, you have nothing. That's the tragedy of India.

Let's fight against corruption for a better India
It (Congress) is a funny party. It is the largest political organization in the world but perhaps does not have a single rule or regulation. We create new rules every two minutes and then dump them. Nobody knows the rules in the party
A rising tide raises all boats, but you need a boat to rise with the tide. What does he who does not have a boat do?
You got to stop asking your politicians how they are going to do this or that...
I am not averse to politics, but that does not mean that I am going to join politics.
Lokpal Bill alone is not adequate to fight corruption. We need a comprehensive anti-corruption code in this country. The UPA Government has developed a powerful anti-corruption frame work consisting of eight new Central laws...... This is not about one Bill, this is about a frame work and we want to deliver that frame work to the country
I have an aim - I have a clear aim in my mind, and the aim is that I do not like what I see in Indian politics; it is something that is inside my heart.
