Q. You have always said there is "jungle raj" in Bihar but you have failed to do anything about it.
A.It isatank raj(rule of terror), not jungle raj.

Q. Recent kidnapping cases in Patna exposed the role of the BJP and Samata leaders too.
A.Abductors should not be seen as members of a particular party but should be punished irrespective of their background.

Q. Don't you think the involvement of party leaders in abductions will damage the Samata Party's image?
A.A party's image cannot be damaged by acts of one or two individuals. The politics of allegations being played out in Bihar will prove to be useless.

Q. How are you going to deal with the accused members?
A. I can assure you that we will not give party tickets to such people. I did not want to do so last time either, but for some reason or other such people managed to get tickets.
