Addressing a rally in Sonepur, PM Modi says, "Actually, Congress and BJD use the poor for politics. This is the reason a large part of India including Odisha was under immense poverty for so many decades, this situation was then misused by Maoists."

On Article 370, Satyapal Malik said, “Would like to tell the political parties to refrain from using the language of violence on hypothetical situations.

When China tried to forcefully enter India's borders and threaten our security in Doklam, the government under the leadership of Modi ji displayed strong willpower and our soldiers gave China a befitting reply. For the first time China was forced to retreat: Yogi Adityanath addressing a public meeting in Assam

In a series of tweets, Congress leader P Chidambaram asked, “Mr Modi must answer this question: does he support enforced disappearance and sexual violence and torture? Mr Modi must also answer this question: why did he totally withdraw AFSPA from Tripura, Meghalaya and three districts of Arunachal Pradesh?”

Mr Modi is lying when he says that Congress will remove the immunity to Armed Forces.

Congress Manifesto says there will be no immunity only in cases of enforced disappearance, sexual violence or torture.

BJP Started Disowning Me Since I was Associated to Advani: Shatrughan Sinha | No concept of collective decision in BJP... Since I was associated to Advani ji, BJP started disowning me gradually... Advaniji has written the blog with great pain... I was not heard at all. When I tried... I was told to contact Amit Shah directly... Nobody else was willing to lend his ears to my grievances: Shatrughan Sinha

Shatrughan Sinha says, “I would like to thank Randeep Surjewala and VC Venugopal for welcoming me. Greetings to BJP's 39th foundation day celebration. I was groomed in BJP party with the guidance and blessings of the stalwarts like Bharat Ratna Nanaji Deshmukh, late and great PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee and of course, our friend philosopher, ultimate leader, guru & guide, Sri. LK Advani. I would like to include some of those who've not lived up to the expectations, to those who are responsible for the injustice and for turning Lok Shahi into Tana Shahi.”

KC Venugopal on Shatrughan Sinha joining Congress said, “Happiest moment for entire Congress… The best politician was with the wrong party till now, but now the best politician is joining Congress today...The election is going to be against anti-democratic government.”

Indian Union Muslim League’s National Secretary, Khorram Anis Omer after meeting Election Commission officials said, "There has been a controversy going on about Pakistani flags being waved at Rahul Gandhi's rally in Wayanad, Kerala, which is false & misleading, & is an attempt to malign both parties." We met EC to file a complaint in regards to claims made by UP chief minister and by Delhi MLA MS Sirsa. They called us terrorists and virus and all kind of things, BJP troll army is behind it. Have asked EC to file FIR, they're going to look into the matter and immediately respond to us, Omer added.
