The BJP is like the Ganga which does not get polluted by effluents falling into it.
UP Chief Minister Kalyan Singh

For the sake of political power, some people are embracing the supporters of Rajiv's killers.
Sonia Gandhi

Soniaji aap aayi hai, Priyanka basant bahar layi hai (Soniaji has arrived, Priyanka has brought spring).
Congress candidate from Rae Bareli Deepa Kaul

I don't expect miracles with Mrs Sonia Gandhi's entry. The Congress will not sweep the country this time. Perhaps if she had entered earlier, it could have been easier.
Congress leader A K Antony

Give the BJP a chance and we will change the taqdeer (destiny) of India.
BJP prime ministerial candidate Atal Bihari Vajpayee

Nine years ago, someone had said the BJP's role would be like A K Hangal's in Hindi films. Good roles, but not central to the film. That is not true any longer. Now we are seen either as khalnayaks (villains) or mahanayaks (superheroes).
BJP president L K Advani

We cannot eliminate booth capturing.
Chief Election Commisioner M S Gill

I have no caste, no religion. Without getting caste or religious favours, how one can become a politician? I shall have to learn operating an AK-47, before entering politics.
Actor Kamal Hasan

The RSS is happy with the BJP's progress. They also know this is the compulsions of the present day democratic system.
BJP leader Dr Murli Manohar Joshi
