I'm an emotional person, but it is not my helplessness.

As chief minister, I have worked towards implementing programmes strongly.

One must realise that it is not a child's play to run a government.

I am not a saleable commodity.

My father was the prime minister and we had Tamil Nadu's support.

It was the BJP that betrayed me when one of its members made the Rs 150-crore bribery allegation against me without evidence.

Unlike the Congress or the BJP leaders, who are away from people, I am not. I mix with people, and I know how they feel. That gives me an edge over the Congress and the BJP.

People have confidence in me.

When my father was the Prime Minister, was there any terrorist activity in this country? The entire country was calm at that time.

Everyone wants to come to Bengaluru and establish an empire. In the process, the most neglected people are Kannadigas, who are losing their land and identity. To protect our people, we need a regional party and not for anything else.
