• History has been created in the womb of Jaunpur. I salute the land.
• From the land of sacrifice, even today, soldiers die fighting terrorists.
• It was cool, but the temperatures have been since soaring in the elections in UP.
• People sometimes forget their ethics and culture and commit such sins that are unforgivable.
• When the Army conducted surgical strikes, it destroyed enemy camps and before sunrise came back to our mother land.
• This was a very courageous and planned to the very minute detail.
• Surgical strikes by India is being studied by the world over.
• But there are some who lost in their political greed started questioning the Army, said Modi should give proof. I want to tell them, go to Jaunpur and meet the mothers of whose sacrificed their lives for the motherland. And you dare question them?
• Chief Minister says kaam bolta hai. So I thought I should read the UP state government's website.

• The election results will be out soon. It will be a wipeout for SP, BSP, Congress. The BJP will win.
• UP will celebrate Holi on March 13. I promise that at the first meeting after BJP is voted to power, the work to forgo famer loans will be taken.
• BJP is winning the first five phases of UP elections, it's your job to give us an absolute majority.
• Give the BJP enough votes so that five years later you can question me. You give me a majority government and I will give you accountability.
• Do you get electricity 24/7? Tell me the truth. SP says you do.
• They are not interested in giving electricity in Jaunpur but only in Saifai
• In Jaunpur, after the sun sets, can your mother and sisters step out of the house? Should they not have the right to live peacefully as men do?
• When I banned notes, SP, BSP and Congress had a big problem.
