"We have said it over and over again that let us vote for women. For women to be in Parliament, someone must vote for them. Means have been made to increase women representation in Parliament, including adding the four women Regional MPs but that is not enough"
"We are happy that up to this time, the registration process has been going well. The Minister of Justice updates us from time to time. When you register, you should know why you are registering and be sure of the calibre of people you want to vote for"
"Voting should not have short term considerations. Vote for someone you know will add value to your community and the Nation.

Don’t vote for lifestyle – just because someone sings or plays soccer should not be a determining factor for voting for that person"
Young though he was, his radiant energy produced such an impression of absolute reliability that Hedgewar made him the first sarkaryavah, or general secretary, of the RSS.
- Gopal Mukund Huddar
Largely because of the influence of communists in London, Huddar's conversion into an enthusiastic supporter of the fight against fascism was quick and smooth. The ease with which he crossed from one worldview to another betrays the fact that he had not properly understood the world he had grown in.
Huddar would have been 101 now had he been alive. But then centenaries are not celebrated only to register how old so and so would have been and when. They are usually celebrated to explore how much poorer our lives are without them. Maharashtrian public life is poorer without him. It is poorer for not having made the effort to recall an extraordinary life.
I regret I was not there to listen to Balaji Huddar's speech [...] No matter how many times you listen to him, his speeches are so delightful that you feel like listening to them again and again.
By the time he came out of Franco's prison, Huddar had relinquished many of his old ideas. He displayed a worldview completely different from that of the RSS, even though he continued to remain deferential to Hedgewar and maintained a personal relationship with him.
