In My Own Words
My inspiration, Chaudhary Charan Singhji gave a political voice and standing to the silent masses of the nation who toil in the fields and villages. The time I spent with him, and my understanding of his vision and life struggles has been instrumental in shaping my sense of wrong and right, and made me aware of my own social responsibilities. He was an honest man who handled varying responsibilities as farmer, lawyer, legislator, took charge of several portfolios in the state and at the national level, and always governed with an incorruptible moral strength.
