I bring other constituencies - I also have ties to minority communities. And obviously, to the world of world-class research universities. So I can bring some constituencies that I'm used to working with.

The GOP needs to figure out a way to become more appealing to new constituencies.

For me it's more important to look at each constituency individually and find a community I feel I can serve to the best of my abilities, and where I feel I can make a real difference, and further their cause.

Much of what candidates have to do is raise money and appeal to constituencies or interest groups that can provide that money.

I want to develop Katihar as an ideal district. That is my dream for my constituency.

The principle is that every member needs to represent their district.

You want to represent the country and you want elected officials that are representative of the country.

If we are going to have a bicameral parliament, I think there should always be a reserved place for people whose background and experience are critical to the welfare of the nation.

I hate to lose the constituency that I've worked with, but I've got 170,000 people to meet in my new district.

I knew quite a lot about politics before I went to Parliament.
