Yashwantrao Chavan : an autobiography - Mumbai Rohan Prints 2012 - 304 p.

"In the past forty years, including the ones of the Assembly, Ihave fought ten elections. I have won all of them. At times with ahuge margin, at times, with a narrow one, sometimes amidst intensecompetition and at times unopposed. Every election was a differentexperience, every time the political criteria were different, everytime the political parties in opposition were different. But therewas no other election like the one in 1946, which was based ontotal consensus. With the exception of this one and the ParliamentElection of Nasik, all of them were stormy. The rivals, at times,went all out to attack me and plumbed new depths of indecency andbitterness. I was my own chief campaigner in all those elections. Irealized that my biggest strength was a friendly, cultured,principled and candid dialogue with the voters. I remainedundefeated in the entire storm with the blessings of the people andthe support of my friends. What more can one desire in the politicsof a democracy?"
