Modi promises to break Delhi cabal of 'status quoists', durbaris

“The country is fed up with the family that sees power at the Centre as their entitlement. I saw the anger of the people first-hand in Amethi. That's why I said that they will not elect someone who has not spoken a word about the problems of the constituency in the past 10 years in the Lok Sabha. Rahul Gandhi is finding the going tough in his own constituency. India has rejected family rule.”

Modi already foresaw a landslide victory and a bigger crisis for the Congress. He had said: “Every recent election has shown that the family no longer has [its earlier] vote-catching ability. I see the Congress experiencing a major crisis after the election. There could be doubts about the ability of its leadership to lead the organisation.”

Asked whether his government would look East or look West in its foreign policy, Modi said: “I will look at India. What is in her self- interest will be India's foreign policy.”
