Instead of minority and majority politics, if we try and give the same rights to all, it is not polarisation. This is the core value of our Constitution.
A national party cannot win an election riding piggyback on the rebels of the rival party.
No government in any country can run on static definitions of economic thinking.
The BJP's decisions are never based on victory and defeat in elections.
No law is permanent or steady. The law is not made of steel. The law is made by Parliament. It goes to the people, to the ground. A lot many suggestions come once it is implemented. So many laws have been amended after receiving people's suggestions.
What is more important than your son? Still, we send our sons to fight at the borders of the nation. Similarly, for the sake of development of our country, we have to give away our land. Not an inch of land that the government will acquire will go into the hands of industrialists.
When you relentlessly work, you gradually get accepted.

It is not undemocratic to express one's difference of opinion.
First, only a stable government can do good for the nation and deliver development. By stable government, I mean one with a full majority. Then, only a strong leader can resolve the problems of the people.
Modi is marching forward on the basis of the BJP's philosophy.
All parties have one leader at the top who is the first among equals.
This is a country of strong beliefs. Just because some two people say something, people don't bow down.
It is the daydreaming of some people who live in a make-believe world who think you can make roads, hospitals, and railways without any social impact!
In political science, public support doesn't have a reverse gear. It always goes forward.
I will not do anything against the basic principles of my party. The Bharatiya Janata Party will function under its declared policy.
I have always lived among the people of Gujarat. I know public sentiments.
We don't worry about our future because all BJP leaders are accustomed to sit in the opposition. We have spent our life in the opposition.
So many people are alleging so many things without evidence against Modi. That itself is proof that he is not a dictator.
I have never done anything which I feel guilty about or wish I had not done it.
I believe the BJP should respect each and every political party, and the BJP should evaluate and consider each party's relevance in Indian politics and then formulate its own strategy.
Except two or three parties, most parties are dependent on one family. I believe that only parties where internal democracy is alive can achieve the ideals of democracy.

Irrespective of economic theories, we will take decisions in the larger interest of the poor people.
I have a track record of accepting my party's decisions. I do whatever work is given to me with determination. That's all.
In no religion is beef-eating a part of faith.
In India, given a choice, nobody ever wants to part with land.
I have no doubt that the Congress is active in manipulative politics.
After getting into politics, I gave away my business and factory to my partners.
Since young age, I am in politics.
In politics, the leaders are supposed to work and work.
A lot can be debated about criminal justice and its delivery system.
I have got popularity. BJP workers have given me unmatched love. They admire me so much that I feel humbled.
My target is to expand the BJP's influence everywhere.
Remember, our focus should remain on development because it is development alone that can transform this nation as well as the lives of its people.
Millions of infiltrators have entered our country and are eating the country like termites. Should we not uproot them?
Kejriwal's only mantra is to tell lies and talk forcefully and repeatedly, but Delhi cannot develop with telling lies.
