I'm an organizer at heart. Organizers know that giving information, being in front of people, talking to people, to build our movement for the kind of country that we see is the most important thing.

We can never be afraid to stand up for what is right, no matter what others may say. And sometimes, if that means taking a lonely road, if what we are standing for is true, then perhaps moonlight or sunshine will light our way and make it less lonely.

I don't want projects to take 10 years to set up. That adds to the cost.

Transparency is the hallmark of Prime Minister Modi's government.

States are the architects of UDAY, not the central government.

Use of energy-efficient LEDs, pumps, fans, and air-conditioners will save power consumption and reduces the peak load.

Very often, state utilities do not buy electricity even if they need it, as every unit purchased increases their losses.

Cost-plus is an inefficient way to do things.

We have been working towards providing a clean environment to the people of India, and we are doing it out of our own conviction.

India has been developing its green energy resources.

You can't sell thermal power without the competitive bidding.

You only expect something from somebody you have confidence can deliver.

If India moves towards 100 percent LED lighting, we will reduce almost 79 million tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. This will also reduce the electricity bills of people.

Reforms ensure that everybody benefits and the state generates financial resources to provide for the really deserving.

Gujarat under Narendra Modi has focused on good governance in the power sector and implemented long-term reforms as opposed to the short-term and anarchic methods adopted by Sheila Dikshit and Arvind Kejriwal in Delhi.

Productive and sustainable job creation, along with increased and better-targeted social expenditure, are the only routes to permanently beat the poverty trap and to bring our social indicators on par with developed countries.

A visionary leadership is required to harness rapid technological change for positive benefit rather than allowing to become disruptive and further exacerbate economic inequality.

India's infrastructure deficit in terms of roads, railways, power, and ports needs to be addressed on a fast-track basis.

Reaping political dividends out of tragedies is deeply engrained in the Congress' DNA.

In most riots in India, Congress has had a direct or indirect involvement. History bears this out.

Anyone leaving the Congress' camp and joining - or even indirectly praising - the BJP-led NDA coalition immediately stands the risk of losing this Congress-issued certificate of secularism. It is a travesty!

I am an optimist.
