He had "serious" offers from the Congress, Nationalist Congress Party and the Rashtriya Janata Dal to join them, he claimed.

To a question whether his campaign against Reliancee Infocomm was to benefit other cellular operators, he said he had raised his voice in Parliament whenever the government suffered revenue losses in the telecom sector due to changes in policy.
