- There is massive misuse being done by the govt - teachers are being made to attend rallies and being sent by the bus loads.
- I am informed that there is going to be massive misuse of the postal ballot this time. People must be made aware of this.
- Soldiers have told me too that they have been made to vote under the supervision of their seniors. This is going to happen again
- The actual vote share when we fought an election with the SP, we saw a significant rise in our vote share.
- The BJP won't change - their entire campaign is based on Mandir-Masjid politics, construction of Ram temple, Jinnah, etc.
- The BJP does not care about the 20%. Who are these 20%. According to their rhetoric, these are the 20% who cheer for Pakistan, are happy to see India not doing well in a situation, burst crackers when something bad happens to the BJP. So, this is like the BJP's dog whistle.
- The BJP's offer to me was a political ploy, not a serious offer. For them it is all about saying Jat-Jat-Jat, but I don't say that. For them in saying so, they want the Jats to be isolated. For me that is not the case, and not how it should be.
- I am at a place where I have nothing to lose, whatever happens will be a gain for us. These elections are not for me to win either. What a win would do is be considered as a historic win for the farmers.
- There was a shift in the mood when Rakesh Tikait got emotional and started crying. That moved people, that moved us all - my father, me, the community as a large. That is a defining moment. We may bicker or fight among ourselves, but we all come together in such times.
- If there is trust between the leaders, then an alliance is strong. Ultimately voters will decide and we will respect the decision.
