I feel Delhi always has a problem in understanding different regions and cultures.

Modi has misused institutions like the ED, Intelligence Bureau, CBI, RBI and National Statistical Commission for political gains and harassing his political opponents. Modi lost his credibility by all these acts.

I have been responsible for so many fronts in the past: The National Front, the United Front; the UNPA, too, was created by me.

In the past, some natives used to collude with Britishers. In the same way, YSRCP is now colluding with Centre.

My mother's studies stopped with the third year of primary school, my father with the first. They taught me a deep sense of duty. But nobody was involved in politics in my family.

I know politics is emotionally brutal; I've already had experience with the reality of smear campaigns, so I understand there will not be a path of roses laid before me.

In the end, there will always be a fundamental difference of perspective between New Zealand and Australia on defense, whoever is in government.

In theory, taxes should be like shopping. What I buy is government services. What I pay are my taxes.
