Mamata Banerji: "Modi Babu's expiry date is over. You know every medicine has an expiry date. The expiry date of the BJP is over… .We are not makers of history, we are made by history... so said Martin Luther King Jr years ago. A whole galaxy of opposition leaders has made history ahead of the 2019 elections."

Amit Shah: “We speak of removing corruption, removing unemployme­nt, removing security threat to the country, but they only speak of removing Modi.”

Arun Jaitley: It is about time that India and its institutio­ns are protected from these 'institutio­n wreckers.. .The Congress Party's stand on multiple issues is self-contradict­ory. It slaughters a cow before the cameras in Kerala, and invokes the National Security Act against the cow killers in Madhya Pradesh.”

Akhilesh Yadav: "The BJP has 40 allies. As the polls approach, you are making allies of the CBI and Enforcemen­t Department also. But we are making an alliance with the people, and in a democracy, the people have the last word ….In Tamil Nadu, they will get zero. It will happen in Bengal too, and after the BSP-SP tie-up on January 12, the BJP is wondering how they will even get a single seat."

Shivraj Singh Chauhan: “Rahul Gandhi ji is

jhooton ke sartaj (king of lies). He says noting other than lies these days. He makes false promises before elections. He had promised that loans of all farmers will be waived off within ten days. It is two months now and no loan has been waived till date.”

Tejashwi Yadav: “Our chowkidaar (watchman) must understand that he may be the chowkidaar, but the people of this country are

his thanedaar (senior officer).”
