Quotes Country knows...if there is a Prime Minister without the Gandhi family, then he is merely a shadow Prime Minister, a puppet Prime Minister with the strings lying with the 10 Janpath.

He doesn’t even know one single word from Ramayana but I have the Sundar Kand (fifth book of the epic) on my fingertips. Does that mean I should ask Sambit Patra to go to Pakistan? No. But whenever I talk about economic issues, he starts shouting Pakistan and Imran Khan.
