session highlights

People don’t want Opposition unity. They want hope. Opposition unity means all opposition parties come together to defeat the BJP. But why did you take the onus of defeating the BJP on yourself?

ARVIND KEJRIWAL, Delhi chief minister

I find that when your employer is a person ruining human rights, I find it hard to take that money... I feel my reputation is worth better than that. My wife and I had a conversation about taking all the money... But there’s a price, and for me, that isn’t my reputation

GEORGE CLOONEY, Actor, producer, director

The banking sector is stable. Our estimate is that India this year will grow by about 7%. IMF has projected that India will grow by about 6.8% in the

current year. And that puts India among the fastest growing major economies in the world

SHAKTIKANTA DAS,

Governor, Reserve Bank of India

Smartphones, electric vehicles, all need to come at an affordable price. A complete ecosystem has to be created. We are just making fundamental raw materials. If we get the fundamental product, then each state will be able to design their own products according to their needs

ANIL AGARWAL, Chairman, Vedanta Resources Limited

I believe that the world today, whether it’s the political world... business world, people… most part of the world recognises that India has

arrived. They can very clearly see the India story, not only the economic story but also as a nation… that shows a lot of positivity in mindset

PIYUSH GOYAL, Union minister

I am sure that 2024 will give the BJP a further chance to expand towards the east and the south. I don’t think, till you win Tamil Nadu, and till you win Kerala, there will be saturation. Expansion is on and in 2024, you will see two or three more states where the BJP will be a force to reckon with

HIMANTA BISWA SARMA, Assam chief minister
