Tell me, how can people who are used to enjoying such power give up that old habit so easily? Why do Western newspapers have such a negative view of India? It is because present India is not what they expected. They want India to be ruled by any class, person, ideology or lifestyle they like. But, they get confused when people in India think the opposite. A Western newspaper has even questioned the fact that elections are held in India during the heatwave.

What a great achievement it is that a large number of Indians voted even in such scorching heat! It is a fact that even the lowest voter turnout constituency in India has a higher percentage of votes than the highest voter turnout constituency in the West. All those countries where the court has to intervene to declare the election results of their country are teaching India how to conduct elections. This is how he spoke.
