"What makes someone like you support people like Mulayam and Lalu Prasad? I can’t go around telling people what to do about Mulayam and Lalu. There are senior Congress leaders involved in this, and they take the decisions. It is not just the issue of support; there are lots of other things. These are tricky questions, and a lot of people ask me about this. But it doesn’t work that way, that one fine day we decide we don’t want to go along with them and that’s it. It is a complex issue, and I don’t want to go into it right now. Let’s get back to development."
