I tremble when I am reminded of the fact that I have to be in charge of this country and Parliament, which had been led by no less a person than Jawaharlal Nehru.

I am not as simple as I look.

I had always been feeling uncomfortable in my mind about giving advice to others and not acting upon it myself.

Our country has often stood like a solid rock in the face of common danger, and there is a deep underlying unity which runs like a golden thread through all our seeming diversity.

The speed with which we in the Congress are going down is sometimes frightening. Government administration in the districts is rapidly reaching a low level. No strong opposition party has been able to emerge.

We have to surmount the difficulties that face us and work steadfastly for the happiness and prosperity of our country.
