H. D. KUMARASWAMY

Employment for the younger generation is my top priority.

It is the BJP's duty to criticise and oppose me. I have no problem with that.

There is nothing unusual in coalition partners differing on some issues. It is a character of democratic system.

Emotions are my weakness. It is in my blood. It is very difficult to control.

Unlike the Congress and BJP, which seek vote on communal lines, I seek votes on issues.

As chief minister, I have worked towards implementing programmes strongly.

I have lived with the people, and I, too, know their pulse; I am the people's CM.

I personally thank Rahul Gandhi. He has given me complete free hand in running the government.

When grave allegations of corruption and criminal charges were leveled against me, BJP leaders chose to take it lightly.

People criticising me for my emotional outburst are not humans.

I'm an emotional person, but it is not my helplessness.

I have deep respect for our armed forces and jawans.

We will give importance to performance while choosing officials.

Ours is not the only party which has more representation of family members.

No one can finish my party. Just because they have money power, they think they can finish us off.

When my father was the Prime Minister, was there any terrorist activity in this country? The entire country was calm at that time.

According to me, all Congress leaders are supporting me. MLAs and leaders are happy with me.

The Congress and BJP both have refused to waive off farm loans from nationalised banks. I have shared that our party will do this if voted to power.

Mr. Modi is engaged in projecting himself as the saviour of the country by capitalising on the air strike following Pulwama attack.

We will not join hands with the Congress in any circumstance, because they are corrupt.

I will work towards ensuring that farmers do not face any crisis and live up to the confidence they have reposed in me.

Basically, I'm an emotional man and a human being.

From Mangaluru to Karwar, we have a 300-km stretch of sea. Tourism fuels Goa's economy and job creation. If they can do it, why can't we do it here?

Unlike the Congress or the BJP leaders, who are away from people, I am not. I mix with people, and I know how they feel. That gives me an edge over the Congress and the BJP.

Congress must control their MLAs.
