PM Modi on NCP-Congress alliance in Maharashtra
- Today, if the whole state is behind the BJP-Shiv Sena Govt, its because of the hard work we've put in in the last 5 years. On one side, there is the work-ethic of the current government, and on the other is the selfishness of the Congress-NCP leaders.

PM Modi on removing special status of J&K under Article 370
- I want to remind the entire country from Beed that whenever Article 370 is discussed in the future, every person who's made fun of the decision, who has stood against and challenged it, will be discussed.
- A leader of Congress said that by removing Article 370, we had lost Kashmir entirely. Have we lost it, really? Why are people who have ruled the country for the longest time after independence saying such things?
