It is the task and the test of democracy to assure that the moderate and good-willed majority prevails and has its way.
Our aim at this season is to sift the hope from the turbulence, so that hope may grow unfettered.
But the Congress today has shown that if we have the will, there is a way.
Now it becomes the people's direct responsibility.
