Our commitment is not to war, it's to peace.

Democracy is not merely right and just.

India, under the greatest trial and tension, has reaffirmed its commitment to rule by the people.

We do not fear the challenges which test our chosen form of government.

I feel that I am among my own people and know that my steps will not be hindered.

It is now time to act.

We are not kingmakers.

Wouldn't that kind of a tax reduction help every one of you?
