 It is a struggle for the minds of the people... No cause justifies recourse to terrorism. |
| I can assure you we are a responsible nuclear power. |
| Together with international unity and resolve we can meet the challenge of this global scourge and work to bring about an international law of zero tolerance for terrorism. |
| Life is never free of contradictions. |
| We are a coalition government, and that limits our options in some ways. Privatization happens to be one such area. |
| India happens to be a rich country inhabited by very poor people. |
| Nobody should be allowed to tinker with democracy. We will not discontinue the good works of the past government. |
| Unity and secularism will be the motto of the government. We can't afford divisive polity in India. |
| My top most priority is to deal with India's massive social and economic problems, so that chronic poverty, ignorance and disease can be conquered in a reasonably short period of time. |
