• It is an insult to all those innocent people who perished in the Coimbatore blasts. It is like suggesting that the Congress was responsible for the assassinations of Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi.
L K Advani, reacting to Sitaram Kesri's remark that the Coimbatore blasts were the handiwork of the RSS.

• Her (Sonia) not condemning the incident within 24 hours of its occurrence speaks of her political immaturity.
L K Advani

• It is only because I did not want to see my family's sacrifices go in vain that I decided to campaign for the Congress. Otherwise, you are aware that I was not inclined towards politics.
