Blast from the past!

Some quotable political quotes from the not-so-distant past that I can recollect:

"I will not cross the borders of Karnataka" - H D Devegowda, then CM of Karnataka, the day before he was chosen to be the PM of the United front government.

"What does communalism mean? You should refer to a dictionary and find out its meaning." - Kumaraswamy, when he formed the coalition government with the BJP in Karnataka.

"You will be voting for the future Dy. PM of India" - Kumaraswamy again, appealing to the voters of Bangalore Rural constituency while campaigning for the 2009 Lok Sabha elections.

"I'll make the roads of Bihar as smooth as Hemamalini's cheeks!" - Lalu Yadav, when he was the CM of Bihar.

"Jab tak rahega samose me aloo, tab tak rahega Bihar me Lalu!" - Lalu Yadav again during one of his earlier campaign speeches.
