Rising prices of essential commodities has affected the day-to-day life of people of this country.

Me and Nitish finished off the BJP in Bihar, and now it is the turn to do so in UP.
Narendra Modi is the Donald Trump of India. They are like twin brothers.
For the first time in the history of Bihar, I provided a stable government. Despite being denied funds by the Centre, Bihar survived on its resources. I provided pucca dwellings to half a million Dalit families.
In my view, Indian Railways has immense untapped potential.
Our mass movement will shatter this communal, fascist and autocratic center.
Musharraf is a good man and wants to improve relations with India.
Why should I tell you where I am going to get funds from? If I were to do that then all the vested interests would get alerted. You must be aware that railways are full of such elements and my fight is against them.
My mother always told me not to handle a buffalo by its tail, but always catch it by its horns. And I have used that lesson in everything in my life, including the Railways.
If Irrfan plans to make a movie on me, I will be the hero of the movie, as I feel that no one better than me.
People are disillusioned with the BJP. Even their hardcore voters, like the traders and baniyas, are angry after demonetisation.
In politics, everybody is free to choose his friends and allies.
In a democracy, power is not permanent.
The lower caste people were killed as part of a conspiracy to dismiss my party's government.
Today in India there are all sections of people, as the BJP realized when the poor voted them out.
I do not rule out the possibility of being prime minister of India one day, but there is still time.
I work so much. If I don't get all the comforts, I will turn mad.
I have got immense love from the poor people. What more do I need? I don't think of death and ailment. Life is in the hands of God.
BJP raised so much horror of jungle-raj returning to Bihar if me and Nitish formed the government there. What happened? People voted for us, and there is no jungle-raaj but only Mangal-raaj in Bihar.
We recognised Urdu as the second official language and made it a medium of examination in all Bihar Public Service Commission tests.
The Sangh Parivar, against which I had been waging a war, misled the people. My opponents used the Election Commission and the bureaucracy to win a political battle.
Everyone should play their role in tearing down the wall of hatred.
It is because of me that today the union government has sanctioned special funds for the development of Bihar.
I know some people say I can be funny. But there is always a deeper meaning to what I say. I am a socialist at heart and have the interests of the poor in mind. When people see how I manage to work my way out of tough situations, it gives them hope in their own life.
If you do not milk the cow fully, it falls sick.
