My workers are efficient - instead of trusting those backstabbing, trust those who work honestly.

Karnataka was known for its good governance. After the BJP came to power, they laid the foundation for bad administration.

People criticising me for my emotional outburst are not humans.

People of the country are totally disappointed with the administration of Narendra Modi.

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

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

People have confidence in me.

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

Congress must control their MLAs.

I am a very sensitive person.

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

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

There always will naturally be some differences when you form the government with coalition parties. Even some single party governments also face several issues.

As head of the Karnataka government, it's my responsibility to implement the judgements and directions of the High Court.

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

Poor Rahul Gandhi doesn't know the ABCD of Karnataka politics.

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.

My program intends to outsource tree plantation to uneducated rural men and women with a monthly salary of Rs5,000 for barely an hour's work.

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?

I have become the chief minister not with a selfish motive.

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

We will give importance to performance while choosing officials.

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

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

One must realise that it is not a child's play to run a government.
