"After 10 years the people have given their mandate to us. We pray to Allah that we meet their expectations...It will not be 'police raj' here but 'logon ka raj' here. We will try to bring out the innocent perosns who are jailed. Media will be freedom. We have to develop trust between Hindus and Muslims. I am hopeful that INDIA alliance partners will fight with us to restore statehood here...I understand Omar Abdullah will become the CM."

"I am sad that they (Congress) have not won (in Haryana)...I think it happened due to their internal disputes...," adds Farooq Abdullah on Congress performance in Haryana.
