- We (BJP) are not working for the post of Chief Minister, this is a fight of ideologies.
- After the swearing-in ceremony today, we will have a cabinet expansion and Shiv Sena and BJP leaders will take the oath. I will stay out of the government.
- They (MVA government) were insulting Hindutva daily. On last day, they renamed Aurangabad as Sambhajinagar. But once you receive Governor's letter, you should not hold any cabinet meeting.
- On one hand, Shiv Sena opposed Dawood (Ibrahim) and on the other hand, they kept such a man in the cabinet who went to jail on allegations of helping Dawood. They were in alliance with someone who insulted Savarkar.
