"I’m tired of being ruled by people whom I wouldn’t hire as my company managers or even house keepers due to their ignorance, inefficiency, illiteracy, criminality, corrupt practices, and simply because many are way past the age of retirement and wouldn’t be able to handle the job due to arthritic joints and other old-age ailments. I wouldn’t trust them with my company or house, and here they’re running my country.
I think its high time our country was run by professionals. A Health Minister who is a brilliant proven doctor and good administrator who has run successful hospitals before; an Arts and Culture Minister who is a renowned artist but also with good administration skills; and so on and so forth. You wouldn’t send your child to a school where the teachers weren’t qualified in their subjects; here we have our country run by Ministers who have no education in the portfolios they hold, or no education at all.
I think the PPI could bring in a great positive change in our country. They have a tough job ahead, because now corruption here has reached full circle, and our very people prefer to elect a proven corrupt candidate to an honest one - because the corrupt one will do their jobs for them in exchange for their votes.
But with the support of like-minded professionals, I think one could eventually work wonders."

"Professionals Party of India is what our nation needs. It is what we need to give ourselves. We have stayed away from politics too far for too long. But politics is not a vocation, it is not a career, it is not a stand. It is our very life. It is our very existence. Aristotle says"A truly ethical life can only be lived by someone who participates in politics." So let us all start. Every revolution has started over a cup of tea. Who knows, it might be this one"

"The strategy of targeting the Middle Class to garner votes so that Professionals get elected to the Lok Sabha makes immense sense. The Solutions based Manifesto provides well researched solutions in all the areas which affect our daily lives. The Middle Class has over the years distanced itself from active politics. By participating in voting and electing Professionals to Parliament, the Middle Class can help Improve the Quality of Life of every Indian!"

"Good governance is the need of the hour if we are to achieve our true potential as a nation. The infusion of professionalism into politics is the key to making this happen. Professionals getting into politics will make a significant impact and PPIs attempts to do this is laudable"
