Nitesh Narayan Rane

"As per my information, Islam does not follow idol worship. Except for love jihad, I do not see any other reason behind Muslims participating in garba. They come to such events under false identity and harass our women."

"The ones wearing round caps and beards did not vote for me. I have become an MLA with the votes of Hindus. If I do not support Hindus, will I support those who speak Urdu?... They are green snakes... The DNA of Mumbai is Hindu."

"Illegal Bangladeshis and Rohingyas staying here is a major security concern. It is an attempt to Islamise our society. Past experience shows this is a serious threat to Mumbai and the country. It is an attempt to take control of the city or the state."

"Kerala is mini Pakistan that is why Rahul Gandhi and his sister are elected from there. All terrorists vote for them. This is the truth, you can ask. They have become MPs after taking terrorists with them."

"I will be very clear with this. Villages that elect a sarpanch of my choice will receive funds from me. I don’t hide anything. I have been trained in the Narayan Rane School of Thought. Even if by mistake, there is a sarpanch elected, who is not of my choice, I will see to it that you don’t get a rupee from my funds. Consider this as a threat or anything you want."
