The administrative control of the government remains everywhere. You can't have a government within the country and not have control over everything that's happening in the country... Even in the Election Commission there is some extent of administrative control.

You can't reorder any society from outside. You can help from within.

In democracy, every election is a learning process. You learn from every election, the one that you win and the one that you lose. And then you prepare for the next one.

You have to trust your government. Don't let every scar, every wart, every hiccup condemn the whole body.

Generally, it is human endeavour to have young people lead, and you see that in public life in the U.S. and everywhere.

What I'm interested in is the fascinating image of young leaders... you know, young people leading in different fields. You see athletes and people in gymnastics, where the requirement is that you are supple and very, very young... 11... and by the time you're 14, you're already over the hill.
