The former Congress president also spoke about his love for riding bicycles and motorcycles. 'I have ridden an electric scooter but never an electric bike. Rather than traveling by car or bike, I prefer cycling as it has the concept of using one’s own power. I'm the type of person who sees more beauty in an old Lambretta than a sports bike. He added that he does not own a car and his mother owns a CR-V.

He also responded on being called Pappu by his opponents. 'I don’t care. Whatever you want to say, it does not matter. I do not hate anyone. You abuse me or even hit me; I would not hate you.
