In politics, everybody is free to choose his friends and allies.

For the first time in the history of Bihar, I provided a stable government. Despite being denied funds by the Centre, Bihar survived on its resources. I provided pucca dwellings to half a million Dalit families.

It is because of me that today the union government has sanctioned special funds for the development of Bihar.

Today in India there are all sections of people, as the BJP realized when the poor voted them out.

I do not rule out the possibility of being prime minister of India one day, but there is still time.

Musharraf is a good man and wants to improve relations with India.
