Top 2 Chanakya quotes on Importance of keeping secrets in Politics

Accomplishment of the task depends on guarding  the secret of the counsel

Whatever consultations take place between the king and his ministers, they should be kept secret. This secrecy will prevent any leak to the enemy who, if he has access of the plans, will thwart the plans. Perfect secrecy, therefore should be maintained.

 One whose counsel is disclosed , destroys his Plans.

 Official secrets should be carefully guarded. The persons who have access to them, should be reliable, honest, and loyal. Extreme care should be taken in the selection of such person and their work and conduct should be kept under careful observation.

He is regarded as one of the earliest known political thinkers, economists and king-makers. He was the man to envision the first Indian empire by unification of the then numerous kingdoms in the Indian sub-continent and provide the impetus for fights against the Greek conqueror Alexander.
