• "Muslims of India should understand who are those inciting them for their gains. Today we are seeing some people inciting others (Muslims) in the name of a uniform civil code. Even the Constitution talks about equal rights for the citizens. They (opposition) blame us, but it is they who do Muslim, Muslim."


• "In vote bank politics, nomadic tribes were deprived of government schemes. In the last nine years, we took notice of every single family and every small group." 


• "BJP workers are strong soldiers not only of BJP but also of achieving the resolutions of the country. For every worker of BJP, the interest of the country is paramount, the country is bigger than the party. Where the country is bigger than the party... it is auspicious for me to talk to such hardworking workers."


• "Today people are being instigated in the name of UCC. How can the country be run on two (laws)? The Constitution also talks of equal rights...Supreme Court has also asked to implement UCC. These (Opposition) people are playing vote bank politics."
