Bharatiya Janata Party Politicians

"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."

"I have worked with SP founder Mulayam Singh Yadav as well. But now those who are taking forward his legacy are not handling the socialist values appropriately. I will continue to raise my voice against those in power and forces who deprive Backward classes, Dalits, poor and the minorities."

"I don’t have any issue with Ramcharitramanas but parts of it have insulting comments and sarcasm directed at particular castes and sects. Those should be removed."

"There is no representation of Pune’s rich history at the station. I demand that it be renamed after Thorle Bajirao Peshwa."

"Offering prayers to Goddess Lakshmi might be a tradition, but this is miles away from practicality. Had praying to Goddess Lakshmi made one rich, India would not have been one of the poor nations in the world. 80 crore people in the country still lead a life of poverty."

"I want to make it clear once again that I am not against any religion or caste. If anyone says that I am anti-Brahmin, then they should show me my statement against Brahmins. However, no one has the right to insult Dalits, tribals, backwards and women in the garb of religion. Whenever there will be a statement against Dalits, backwards or women, then I would stand in front of them."

"If you want to worship Goddess Lakshmi, then worship and respect your wife who is a goddess in true sense because she fulfils the responsibility of nurturing, happiness, prosperity, food and care of your family with great devotion."

"Every child born in every religion, caste, race, colour and country of the whole world has two hands, two legs, two ears, two eyes and a nose with two holes. There is only a head, stomach and back. If a child with four hands, eight hands, ten hands, twenty hands and a thousand hands has not been born till date, then how can Lakshmi be born with four hands?"

"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."

"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."

"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."

"This is unfortunate. Shaniwar Wada is not the place to offer namaz. We urge the administration to take strict action against those involved. We performed Shiv Vandana at Shaniwarwada and purified the place. We tried to hoist a saffron flag but the officials stopped us. These people offer namaz at any place and then add it to the Waqf property. The Hindu community is vigilant."

"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."

"There are poor people among Muslims, but there are also poor among Hindus and Dalits. Why is the government discriminating? This is nothing but vote-bank politics and sowing seeds of division."

"They eat India’s food, breath India’s air and sing songs in praise of Pakistan. They will be kicked out of the country through the surgical strikes."

"We believe in Sanatana Dharma. If Hindus vote for us, what is your problem? We are proud of this and there is nothing to be ashamed of."

"Boys and girls run away. There have been cases where parents are forced to commit suicide later. My request to the government is to make such a law where permission of parents is mandatory for boys and girls before marriage."

"All Indians worship the cow as a mother, and killing such a cow is akin to killing one's mother."

"I am with the Narendra Modi in his Atmanirbhar Bharat campaign and I will work hard and to my full capacity. I will work with the BJP and will help the party in making Bihar a developed state."

"Just like frogs become active in the monsoon, these leaders also become active in the election season. Now, with the Bihar Assembly elections approaching, they are doing a Yatra. But I want to ask, where was Rahul Gandhi in the last five years?"

"The Congress and UPA govt coined the terms ‘Hindu terrorism' and ‘saffron terror' to deliberately target Hindutva organisations. From the early 1990s to early 2000s, the world was grappling with Islamic terrorism, with links pointing at Pakistan. The United States, Europe, and India all faced deadly terror strikes. Instead of confronting reality, the Congress sought to please its vote bank."

"It’s true that the state has been seeing coalition governments for a considerable period now. There was Vilasrao Deshmukh…Even when Sharad Pawar became the chief minister, he was not able to do so alone with absolute majority. Secondly, it has been Maharashtra’s misfortune that for some time now, no CM has been able to serve the five-year term. Devendra Fadnavis was the first person after a long time who served the entire term. The government then was clean and spotless. It was a government that worked for the welfare of the people."

"If we talk philosophically, then Covid-19 virus is also a living organism which wants to live and has a right to live just like humans. However, we consider ourselves more intelligent than any other living organism. We are now after it and to escape, the virus is changing its form constantly."

"Let me make it clear that we don’t want to enhance our revenue by selling liquor. But will the sale and consumption of liquor stop, if it is banned? That is a big question. In fact, we have a vast chunk of people serving in the army and paramilitary forces who are officially entitled to their quota of liquor. We have tribes who have been traditionally brewing liquor and consuming it. The result of the liquor ban (elsewhere) has been dangerous -- people started producing illicit liquor and took to drugs. Banning liquor will not only lead to a revenue loss but people will also start drinking illicit liquor. So, we will discourage people from having liquor by creating awareness."

"Cow is the only animal that both inhales and exhales oxygen. This is why we have given it the status of the mother."

"Several Hindus had gone already to jail in 2009, including a woman ascetic, Sadhvi Pragya and an army man, Colonel Purohit. Not for the Mumbai attack, because this was now not possible with the Pakistani Kasab in custody and his links to Pakistan unraveling, but for the blasts in Malegaon and Samjhauta Express. In spite of the media playing along with the narrative that probably Hindus were behind those attacks, there were many indications that those accused were framed. In 2017, after eight long, torturous years in jail, an ill Sadhvi Pragya and Colonel Purohit got finally out on bail. The army gave the Colonel a hero’s welcome. It showed that they never believed he was guilty. Though some charges were dropped, the case is still in court. Regarding another bomb blast in Hyderabad, only in April 2018 the Hindus accused were acquitted. The accusations against Hindus in those years of the UPA government were unproven, yet unrelenting. Since the Congress traditionally depended on Muslim votes, there may have been a temptation to play to the gallery."

"I was summoned, arrested, and tortured. It destroyed my life. I was leading a spiritual life when I was wrongly accused. No one stood by us. I survived only because I am a Sanyasi."

"If he was the killer of Gandhi, he (Godse) was also a saput of India. He was born in India. He was not an invader like Babar and Aurangzeb."

"Bhagavad Gita should be taught in schools. We send our children to missionary schools and they get through IIT and become engineers, collectors and SPs or they go abroad. Most of them start eating beef. Why? Because we did not teach them our culture and traditional values....the values of Sravan Kumar."

"Those opposing Narendra Modi are looking at Pakistan, and such people will have place in Pakistan and not in India."

"Does anyone have the courage to portray the character of Prophet Muhammad in movies?"

"The country was divided in the name of religion. Had it been then ensured that only those who believe in Sanatana Dharma would stay back in India, we would not have to put up with abuses of people like Badruddin Ajmal and (AIMIM chief) Asaduddin Owaisi."

"This is a gang to defame the country, Rahul (Gandhi) and Jairam Ramesh. Hindenburg defames us. We will not tolerate this insult to the nation. These people are enemies of the country. Now, strictest action will be taken against Hindenburg."

"Hindus’ security is the responsibility of Mamata Banerjee along with Muslims. Murshidabad violence shows Hindus are forced to flee West Bengal… It is unfortunate that this is happening in front of the state government."

"Those who are fond of eating non-vegetarian food should consume only jhatka meat. If jhatka meat is not available, they must completely avoid eating halal meat."

"This Shaheen Bagh is not a movement anymore. Suicide bombers are being raised here. A conspiracy is being planned against the country in the country's capital."

""The issue of Waqf land has been affecting people across communities. I feel pained to see eminent Christian leaders having to express their anguish in this manner. I assure them that their grievances will be addressed," Rijiju wrote on September 28. He also expressed confidence in the Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC)."

"Referring to past incidents, he brought up the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) controversy, saying, “When CAA was introduced, some people spread rumours that it would strip Muslims of their citizenship. Today, the law is in place, and their claims have been proven false. But did they ever apologise?”"

"Meanwhile, BJP MP and chairman of the JPC committee on Waqf (Amendment) Bill, Jagdambika Pal highlighted that this bill is for the betterment of Waqf. “This will end the row. Kerala’s thousands years old church was declared as Waqf. Properties of many places were given to Waqf. The new parliament was declared as Waqf property. So, it means that this bill will end this controversy,” he emphasised. “While many Muslim clerics are supporting this bill, All India Muslim Personal Law Board is objecting to it. On the day of ‘Alvida Namaz’ they asked people to wear black arm bands in protest against this bill, and even today, on Eid, they have appealed to people to protest against it. But why,” he questioned. “First, let the amended law come. Today, Muslims are thanking PM Modi for Saugat-e-Modi. While we are talking of ‘Sabka saath, sabka vikas’ Congress, Owaisi and AIMPLB are looking at Muslims as a vote bank, doing appeasement. 1.25 crore people have sent their representation on this bill. We even heard people from all over the country, including Jammu and Kashmir’s Mirwaiz Umar Farooq. The bill will be tabled on the date BAC (Business Advisory Committee) gives,” Pal noted."

"Marriage is made out to be so important for girls The focus has to shift at some point from marriage to the real challenges of life which are the same for women and men We have to prepare our girls just the way we prepare our boys."

"I don't believe in keeping sperm panties as tokens."

"Success if the best revenge. I always feel women should answer back either with their sarcasm or success."

"If a woman is super successful, she is called a psychopath."

"The Congress government systematically removed constitutionally mandated SC/ST reservations from government-funded institutions like Jamia Millia Islamia (2011) and Aligarh Muslim University (1981)."

"The chief minister of Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, in a public meeting today, declared, ‘He is not a Kafir’. He considers Kafirs to be ‘darpok’ or cowards,” wrote Malviya in X. “With Kolkata Mayor Firhad Hakim at his side, who recently gave open call to convert everyone to Islam, Mamata Banerjee shamelessly condones abuses against non-Muslims…."

"Mamata Banerjee must understand that West Bengal is an inalienable part of India. Millions of revolutionaries have sacrificed their blood to secure a homeland for Bengali Hindus."

"I am fed up with such questions being asked from me for the past two years. I am a worker of BJP, its office bearer and MP and working for the party. Questions should be related to the event."

"BJP MP from Budaun, Sanghamitra Maurya, visited the victims’ house and assured them her full support. "I condemn the murder of the two minor boys,” she said. Referring to SP leaders remarks on the incident, Maurya said this was no time to do politics. "Samajwadi Party is doing politics on the issue because its so-called fort of Budaun was demolished by people here in 2019. The SP candidate must have seen that there was no one asking about him in Budaun today. This is why they are doing politics on the issue," Maurya said."

"The damaged vehicles are proof of the attack. Not only this. When I was coming to Fazilnagar after hearing about the attack, the BJP workers surrounded my car too even though I am a BJP MP."

"When I was a student at the Lucknow University, I had visited Ayodhya many times. Seeing Lord Ram Lalla in a tent, I was pained. But today, we are feeling proud that once again Ram Yug is coming."
