But people who love me will talk to me. No one can stop that. I will work for the Nation with suspension. I will not accept that I’m against BJP party. I will smack anyone who says that. No individual is a party. This is how power can take any decision without an enquiry. He always wanted me out from day one. I will come back stronger.
