I am Above Politics: Venkaiah Naidu 

Naidu said he was earlier “an all-party man”. However, now he was “above politics”.

“I will meet your expectations. Everyone among you will get an opportunity but everyone must follow the rules and regulations (of Parliament),” Naidu said in response to welcome speeches by Rajya Sabha members.

He said politicians must not look at each other as enemies but as “rivals” in their common endeavor of “working hard to strengthen the country and help people”.

“Democracy is not about numbers but to understand and appreciate each others’ point of view. We must debate, discuss, decide and deliver.”

Naidu also credited the “might” and “beauty” of the Indian Constitution for his political success.
