“The BJP has decided that politics is for values and ideals, and for this, an age limit has been decided. I think that for democracy and for political parties, this is a good indicator. It will be good if all the political parties adhere to this, thereby strengthening India’s democracy.”

In a democracy, everyone has a right to put forward one’s views. But people resorting to violent demonstrations in the name of Dalits are bound to be exposed.

Officers are not fruit. I can’t pick them off a tree.

Democracy or politics done without values and ideals is dangerous for the country.

I think there is no difference between the language of Shah Rukh Khan and Hafiz Saeed.

We have demolished the biggest hindrance to the development of Uttar Pradesh – the menace of casteism and dynastic politics. The epicentre of development is now villages, poor, farmers, youth, women, traders, and, in fact, every section of the society.

Our education system must promote nationalism but should be modern and relevant to contemporary needs.

We want to channelize the youth so that the state benefits from them and help Uttar Pradesh become a developed state.

Public sentiment should be respected.

I am not a full-time politician but a ‘sanyasi’ who took the path of politics to serve the masses.

The country will never vote in favour of those who do not acknowledge Lord Ram and Lord Krishna.

The bureaucracy always goes with the way politicians go.

Akhilesh Yadav played a clever game by joining hands with BSP so that he can save his skin and use Dalit votes to win a few seats.

In the 55-60 years of their rule, the successive Congress government have only looted the country and plunged it into poverty, casteism, regionalism, terrorism, and naxalism.

We are not intoxicated by power. We are concerned about the betterment of the poor, marginalised, oppressed, farmers, women, those living in villages, and every section of society.

Due to Modi ji’s leadership, people’s participation in building a base for inclusive growth and a strong country became possible.

I rely on people who can deliver.

Getting old is not for sissies.

I was sixteen then, and I’m seventeen now, and sometimes I act like I’m about thirteen. Sometimes, I act a lot older than I am–I really do. But people never notice it. People never notice anything.

I do believe in love. I don’t believe you find it at 16 but I think I believe in it.

We can be resentful of our age, or we can be grateful for having attained it.

Will future ages believe that such stupid bigotry ever existed!

Each age has deemed the new-born year the fittest time for festal cheer.

One crowded hour of glorious life is worth an age without a name.

Confidence is something you’re born with. I know I had loads of it even at the age of 15.
