"I regard the constituent assembly as the substitute ofsatyagraha. It is constructive satyagraha."

Previous Quote

Efficiency in an assembly requires a solid mass of steady votes; and these are collected by a deferential attachment to particular men, or by a belief in the principles that those men represent, and they are maintained by fear of those men - by the fear that if you vote against them, you may soon yourself have no vote at all.
