1946 • Indian • Politician
The Union government can do a lot more for poor states like Orissa.
Dynastic rule is when you are groomed to succeed. My father never groomed me to take over.
My father was against nepotism.
I have inherited my father's responsibilities, not privileges. One of the members of his family had to continue his legacy of social responsibility.
I trust the people of Odisha.
The love and affection of the people of Odisha continues to inspire me every day.
