* Arun Jaitley addresses session in Rajya Sabha, says, "Winner must never get arrogant, loser must not be bitter. After 30 years you have a party with tall majority but within that the changing character of India is visible. What people want is governance and not merely social combinations as substitutes."

* "We had thought we are in an era of alliances. We still believe that. Alliances represent the strength of India.. Indian democracy now is evolving, people gave a verdict which was higher than some of us expected. The burden on our government is going to be much higher is because people expect us to perform," says Jaitely.

* "What people want is governance, not social combinations as substitutes," Jaitely said. "We gained because of anti-incumbency against are opponents. After decades I saw return of massive crowds at rallies."

"For the last 2 years, India has grown at less than 5%. You have left the country with low growth rates, high inflation, high fiscal deficits. There has been no poverty alleviation, but you have alleviated poverty instead"

"There is one danger if one continues to be in power for a very long time. Governments fall into the trap of believing in their own ads."

* Policy with regard to neighbours is primarily guided by our own security considerations
