• The BJP is like the Ganga which does not get polluted by effluents falling into it.
UP Chief Minister Kalyan Singh

• For the sake of political power, some people are embracing the supporters of Rajiv's killers.
Sonia Gandhi

• Soniaji aap aayi hai, Priyanka basant bahar layi hai (Soniaji has arrived, Priyanka has brought spring).
Congress candidate from Rae Bareli Deepa Kaul

• I don't expect miracles with Mrs Sonia Gandhi's entry. The Congress will not sweep the country this time. Perhaps if she had entered earlier, it could have been easier.
Congress leader A K Antony

• Give the BJP a chance and we will change the taqdeer (destiny) of India.
BJP prime ministerial candidate Atal Bihari Vajpayee

• Nine years ago, someone had said the BJP's role would be like A K Hangal's in Hindi films. Good roles, but not central to the film. That is not true any longer. Now we are seen either as khalnayaks (villains) or mahanayaks (superheroes).
BJP president L K Advani

• We cannot eliminate booth capturing.
Chief Election Commisioner M S Gill

• I have no caste, no religion. Without getting caste or religious favours, how one can become a politician? I shall have to learn operating an AK-47, before entering politics.
Actor Kamal Hasan

• The RSS is happy with the BJP's progress. They also know this is the compulsions of the present day democratic system.
BJP leader Dr Murli Manohar Joshi
