Highlights: Ex-Army Chief VK Singh on whether he'll run against Sonia Gandhi

• I'm not against Congress, I'm for a better India
• Reports of standing against Sonia Gandhi is someone's ripe imagination
• I decided that for 42 years I have taken from society and now it is time to give back
• I have taken up the cause of ex-servicemen, aim to get them under one umbrella
• Not bothered about accusations, small minds think of small things
• People must realise here is a group of people who are disciplined, well-trained and must be used
• You have a jhuggi-jhopri vote bank, why should an ex-servicemen vote bank scare people?
• Looked at students' causes, the whole education system is warped and needs overhaul
• I'm with Anna because he is genuine; elections are not not on our mind
• We have formed the Jantantra Morcha, and we'll focus on getting true democracy in the country
• Nothing more preposterous than the suggestion that the Army is listening to conversations of politicians and the Raksha Mantri (Defence Minister)
• Misunderstandings are created deliberately by people who have an axe to grind

On the Technical Support Division (TSD):

• TSD was set up after a lot of discussion on the operational requirement. It is in sync with the directives of Raksha Mantri.
• Thinking on this started with my predecessor
• It has nothing to do with technical work, it is about human intelligence
• It was part of military intelligence, not controlled by Army chief
• If they had not tinkered with this organisation, a lot of things happening on our borders wouldn't have happened
• This agency was designed to look across the border

• If they say Rs 8 crore is missing, have they seen the log books? This is totally wrong. 
• Traditional values teach us to speak the truth, be upright about it
• If people had followed service norms, we would not have the problems
• People are all hankering for their rehabilitation.
• People who blame for the leak of my letter to PM should get themselves checked
• These cases are all designed to harass. One has to be mentally strong to deal with this.
• The system today requires good people. Not all people in politics are bad.
  
• 20% of the people twist the system.
• No truth in reports that I am contesting against Sonia Gandhi.
• As part of the Jantantra Yatra I haven't even visited Rae Bareli but I think I should now.
