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

People had lost trust in governance. Getting back that trust, instilling a sense of hope and belief that good governance and development would be back on track, is my biggest achievement.

My resolve is to work for the development of the state and the welfare of the people, so I will tackle all challenges. That’s my vision.

I believe Bengal is a part of India.

U.P. is a big state. I don’t have enough leadership experience for such a big state. I requested the party for two experienced associates to help me and work with me.

I was not in the race to become a chief minister. I had never thought about it.

If a person is too ‘satisfied’, then he might become complacent, not work so hard to get ahead.

We must link Azamgarh to art and culture and not with terrorism and crime.

I have always faced challenges in my life.

Law and order is a state responsibility. I can assure you peace will be maintained in Uttar Pradesh.

Under Prime Minister Modi’s leadership, terror camps are being destroyed, which is breaking the back of terrorists and Pakistan.

The tradition that I come from has a great influence on Karnataka. Not just politically – it’s also my social and moral responsibility to draw citizens facing bad governance and lawlessness to a leadership that is capable of delivering good governance and development.

Nobody is allowed to break the law.

Most of the people who oppose idol worshipping belong to TMC.

The Election Commission stopped me from campaigning. I accepted it and reached people through my prayer – in silence. People gave their approval. Praying in silence is important, and this spiritual prayer has paid off.

A victory for the BJP means a victory for prosperity and development.

I don’t have a personal agenda. My priority is expeditious implementation of my party’s manifesto, the Lok Kalyan Sankalp Patra.

In the moment you choose not to be vulnerable towards your pain and suffering you also build a wall towards happiness, towards awakening.

I call you to say we have no other choice but to date for a year go our separate ways and cheat on whoever we marry forever.

Give me a life or give me death, but not this.

If you make decisions based upon people’s reactions or judgments then you make really boring choices.

I choose to focus on my work so that I can turn my dreams into reality.

If priests were allowed to marry, if this would be an optional thing, and if he could have wife and children, he would certainly have less temptation to satisfy certain sexual impulses with minors.

I had a lot of dates but I decided to stay home and dye my eyebrows.

I definitely don’t make many friends. It’s my choice; I just have a wall. It’s not that I have anything against anyone.
