TRACKING THE POLL RALLIES

As the elections draw to a close in Telangana and Rajasthan, Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) raises statehood sentiment, Congress bats for farmers, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) strikes nationalistic fervour If you talk about 'Bharat Mata', how can you forget about farmers?... Modi-ji, the people of Congress aren’t afraid of you and will not step back. The loans of farmers have to be waived off... The moment our government is formed, in 10 days loans will be waived. RAHUL GANDHI, Congress president Congress has a ‘naamdar'. That ’naamdar’ issued a ‘fatwa’ today that Modi-ji should not start addressing election rallies with ‘Bharat Mata Ki Jai’. And therefore, I, today in the presence of lakhs of people here, said ‘Bharat Mata ki Jai’ 10 times. NARENDRA MODI, Prime Minister BSF (Border Security Force) would show a white flag to maintain peace on the border. I asked the BSF director how many times have we shown the white flag and he said 16 times. I told him once Pakistan opens fire, then give them a befitting reply. RAJNATH SINGH, Union home minister Instead of giving ‘Acche Din’, Modi has given another three Modi's, who have looted India. 'Rahul Gandhi Aayenge, Bure din Jayenge'. NAVJOT SINGH SIDHU, Congress leader Is Telangana KCR’s ‘jagir’? How can he say the Congress has not done anything for the state? In fact, KCR had no role in the formation of Telangana state. GHULAM NABI AZAD, Congress general secretary We have achieved separate statehood for Telangana and liberated it from Andhra rulers after a prolonged fight for over a decade. Should we hand over our precious Telangana back to the Andhra party? K CHANDRASEKHAR RAO, Telangana chief minister
