Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi never called me a liar. Why should I lie when I have not taken commission in fifty years of public life?
Atal Bihari Vajpayee

I will prevent communal violence even if it costs me my life.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M Karunanidhi

She (Jayalalitha) did not vote yesterday. She has no locus standi to speak on democracy.
M Karunanidhi

It is an insult to all those innocent people who perished in the Coimbatore blasts. It is like suggesting that the Congress was responsible for the assassinations of Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi.
L K Advani, reacting to Sitaram Kesri's remark that the Coimbatore blasts were the handiwork of the RSS.

Her (Sonia) not condemning the incident within 24 hours of its occurrence speaks of her political immaturity.
L K Advani

It is only because I did not want to see my family's sacrifices go in vain that I decided to campaign for the Congress. Otherwise, you are aware that I was not inclined towards politics.
Sonia Gandhi, in Hanamkonda, Andhra Pradesh.
