History has given us the responsibility to save the nation. We must accept this challenge.
West Bengal Chief Minister Jyoti Basu

Indian people need a tikau sarkar and not a bikau sarkar.
Atal Bihari Vajpayee

Why shouldn't I be in the race? I can very well be the prime minister if the United Front comes to power.
Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah

Unless there is secularism, the country cannot be held together. We have the experience of eastern Europe before us... An ideology like the BJP's will lead immediately to ethnic strife, conflicts, terrorism, so many things.
Former Kerala chief minister A K Antony

A K Antony

Janata Dal president Sharad Yadav
