On Ahmed Patel's tweet, she said, "I don't pay attention to such tweets."

The money for NYAY will not come from the pockets of the middle class people, I want to make it clear that there will be no tax increase in order to put money in the accounts. The money will come from the pockets of the people who have looted India. If u want to talk on Rajiv Gandhi issue please go ahead and do so but also speak on Rafale deal as well: Rahul Gandhi

Mamata Banerjee said, "You promised 10 crore jobs. Where are the jobs? According to a Parliament report we reduced unemployment in West Bengal by 40 per cent. I challenge Modi to a debate on India’s history. There will be no papers or teleprompters."

Modi Will Have to do 100 Sit-ups Holding Ear if Proven Wrong: Mamata | Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said, “I challenge Modi if you can prove any of the 42 candidates of TMC is a coal mafia, I will withdraw all 42 candidates. If he fails to prove that, he will have to do a 100 sit ups before the people holding his ear. Do you accept this challenge? Do you care for your own wife that you have now come to care for others?”

On PM Modi calling TMC the mafia, chief minister Mamata Banerjee said, “Your Delhi office is ruled by BJP and TMC becomes the mafia. I have a pen drive that would expose the cow smuggling.” She said that there was a central minister involved in the cow smuggling.

Narendra Modi doesn't speak on employment, farmers and black money in his rallies...He uses teleprompter and speaks on same old issues. I want to ask him what did he do for the country in the last 5 years: Rahul Gandhi

Congress's Sonia Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Manmohan Singh all have been saying 'Garibi Hatao' and now Rahul Gandhi is also repeating the same. So what have they been doing in last so many years, Nitin Gadkari said while addressing a press conference. 

BJP leader Nitin Gadkari said, “The Lok Sabha elections is based on our (BJP) performance. But then the opposition party diverted the same in the fear of losing the polls. Congress has stooped low in this election. There are about 56 abuse words used by the Congress against the BJP.”

Sharad Pawar may not be contesting the general elections, but the 79-year-old is still a force to reckon with in Maharashtra and national politics.

Congress spokesperson Sanjay Jha said that we had the worst Prime Minister and the most incompetent Finance Minister in history.

Dear Fellow Indians
Truly we are a resilient country to survive for the last 5 years:
1) The worst Prime Minister ever
2) The most incompetent Finance Minister in history.

But freedom from the madness beckons.
Let the countdown begin.

SC Upholds EC Move to Reject Tej Bahadur's Nomination |  The Supreme Court uphold Election Commission's move to reject the nomination of sacked BSP jawan Tej Bahadur Yadav from Varanasi parliamentary constituency. SC also expressed satisfaction with EC decision.

Congress leader Pawan Khera said, "Vice admiral clarified that the then Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was on official visit but facts don't matter to Modi. He doesn't have anything to talk about his own achievements. Rahul Gandhi has been challenging him for last six months now to debate on Rafale deal, demonetization, unemployment but Modi does not have the courage to speak."

SC Junks Plea Challenging Rahul's Nationality | The Supreme Court junks the plea, questioning what prompted the petitioners to come to the court now. "Just because a paper notes his citizenship as British, does he become a British citizen?" says the court. "We dismiss the petition. There is no merit in the petition," said CJI Ranjan Gogoi. He also asked, “Who doesn't want to become the PM? Everyone among 130 crore would want to become the PM. It is a healthy aspiration.” On 1 May, the home ministry sent Rahul Gandhi a notice seeking a response to charges that he held British citizenship. The Ministry of Home Affairs sought Gandhi's response over a complaint filed by BJP's Subramanian Swamy in 2017.

AAP spokesperson Raghav Chadha tweeted, “Received distressing news of BJP distributing alcohol and cash in various unauthorised colonies and JJ clusters in South Delhi Parliamentary Constituency. Desperate attempts to save votes after 5 years of all Gundaraj and no work? Saddening but not surprising at all.” He also said that the party has set up surveillance team.

Anticipating the BJP's low politics, we have set up surveillance teams of top volunteers. Armed with spy cams, mobile apps & the grit to ensure free & fair elections, they're keeping a close eye on the BJP's nefarious activities.
We're watching your every move, you watch the law.

Why is Congress Afraid to Talk About Rajiv Gandhi: GVL Rao | Why are Congress leaders acting as a slave to one family. Why do Ahmed Patel and other leaders have an issue with this? Rajiv Gandhi is remembered in this country for the Bofors scam. Why is Congress afraid of talking about Rajiv Gandhi. PM Modi has challenged Congress to fight elections in the name of Rajiv Gandhi, GVL Narasimha Rao said.

On INS Viraat, MA Naqvi said, “Whatever the truth is will come forward and it has. The people have more to see and know in the coming days when it comes to their (Congress) legacy.”

I am not worried about Mamata Banerjee's anger towards me because I have the support of 135 crore people of this country. However, she should be afraid of the people of West Bengal as they are angry at her about the chit fund scam and worried about the harassment that women face in the state: PM Modi

The Supreme Court declines to urgently list a petition by CPI(M) against Election Commission’s order of repolling across 168 booths of Tripura West parliamentary constituency. EC had ordered a re-polling on May 12, along with the sixth phase of the Lok Sabha elections.
