Olympic medal winner Col Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore Statement "For 23 years, I have served the nation in war and peace, to the best of my ability. I am trained to fight by the finest army of the world. So, I must not back out when the nation is faced with a different kind of threat. I know that politics and politicians are hated but I still believe in the goodness of a heart that has selfless intentions. With the grace of God, I will make a difference. "It is an agniparikhsha (trial by fire) that I am willing to take, if, while undertaking the journey, I can bring satisfaction to myself and many others. "I am indebted to the Indian Army. I have grown and imbibed the indomitable spirit of this fighting force. The sacrifices of its men and women have only emboldened me to act free of fear or prejudice. I salute the soldiers and young officers of this great army. My military spirit is deeper then the uniform I hang. Once an army man, always an army man. "India today needs decisive leadership and I see that leadership in Narendra Modi and (Rajasthan BJP leader) Vasundhara Raje. Like a general that leads from the front, he has galvanised a nation that had forgotten to believe. He deserves a chance, India deserves a chance and I am willing to soldier for India. I find very creditable leadership at the helm of the BJP, in the BJP-led states and a committed and strong grassroots cadre (in the party)".
