Only those people who have vested interests… they continue to remain in offices. They block the young, entry of new blood,” “We can’t piggyback on the other party. We can’t get satisfaction by saying that other people have defeated the BJP. No. We have to come up. How we should come up? That kind of introspection is deeply needed. This (P) Chidambaram saying that we are happy that the BJP is defeated. That is sadistic satisfaction. Congress should come back. It is capable of coming up…”
