” Swachha Bharat is a mission without any commission so there should not be any remission because this has to become a people’s movement”

” Cleanliness has to be a habit – like men trimming their beards every day to keep them in shape. If one decides to trim the beard once every year then one will end up becoming a baba… and you know what is happening to bearded babas these days”.

” We have commitment, calibre, capacity, conduct, discipline, dynamism, dedication, devotion…You only have commotion to create emotion for your own promotion” (addressing the Congress in Parliament)

” I neither want to become rashtrapati (President) nor do I want to become uprashtrapati( Vice-president). I am happy being Usha’s pati” (Usha’s husband).

” Information with confirmation is ammunition and photo confirms the information.” (at a photography exhibition of the Press Information Bureau)

” During UPA, it was PM presides, Madam or Boy decides. Now PM presides, Team decides.”

” The BJP has won the mainland, the island and the highland” ( after the 2014 election, referring to the cowbelt, the highland of Ladakh and the Andaman and Nicobar islands, where his party was victorious). ” Elections are selection, collection and direction.” ” If e-rickshaws are allowed in Parliament House premises, minister for roads Nitin Gadkari and leader of Congress in the Lok Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge can travel together in the eco-friendly vehicle to attend House proceedings. Then, there will be no pollution in Parliament.” ” Some asuras always try to disturb peace during

yagna. India has changed but the Congress hasn’t changed. Demonetisation is an anti-scam vaccine” (when the Congress was trying to raise demonetisation in the House).
