You say that we will become strong...You (Gandhi family) are going strong for the last 60 years. But, the issue today is how to make our nation strong. When you want to make yourself strong, we (BJP) want to build a strong nation. For us, there is nothing supreme than the people’s voice
— Narendra Modi in Kalol
Though it is unfortunate, but it is true. Some leaders of the Congress and the CPI(M), at the residence of Ahmed Patel in Delhi, are preparing lists where DMs, SPs, OC’s and the BDOs will be changed

I am confident that the people of Vidisha will enhance my victory margin to over four lakh votes this time as I have shouldered my responsibility as an MP with full dedication and honesty

Absolutely nobody is being sidelined. If somebody did not get ticket, it doesn’t mean he has no value in the party. He can be given position in Parliament, Assembly or party. Also if the Government is formed, there can be positions in institutions

Somebody was saying that Modi is spending Rs 5000 crore in advertisements. Gandhi is also spending a lot of money. You watch TV, read newspapers, see billboards, they are there and everywhere. If Modi is elected to power, he will make at least Rs 5 lakh crore. I am a fakir. I have no money. I will run a campaign on your money. You decide what do you want
— Arvind Kejriwal in Varansai
What is to be understood is that these instances of hate speeches are not aberrations of some individuals. This is integral to the political platform of the BJP and Narendra Modi. The people and the country have been forewarned
— Sitaram Yechury in New Delhi
If my party comes to power, RSS, BJP and all such organisations will be banned. These organisations work to spread hatred. We’ll chase all these rioters out of India. Giriraj is not a leader at all. BJP is just a mask for RSS which is propagating communalism and fascism in India. When they are caught and criticised, they quickly retract their statements or start making excuses

lalu Prasad is a rental player of the Congress
— Nitish Kumar in Madhubani
There is nothing like Gujarat model which is being propagated by the BJP..They should tell what it is...No one knows about it. It’s just a big lie
