“ Hard work never fails. What you get without hard work will never fructify. If the food you eat stays in your body, your health will get spoilt. If the money you make stays in your pockets, your life will get spoilt. “ “ I'm not a political leader, I'm just an ordinary person who has come to serve the people. “ “ I am not a big man. I am just a simple man trying to lead a simple life. “ “ Even if I make a mistake, my fans will not give up on me. That's a great responsibility. “ “ I am a spiritual person, and I believe in karma. What you sow is what you reap. “ |
