- Thank God that he was with us in difficult times. We have fought against great enemies. I thank God above, by His grace we come out of dire situations. In prison I had a lot of time to think and read. In jail I read the Gita and the Ramayana and the diary of Shaheed Bhagat Singh.
- They are filing false cases against non-BJP Chief Ministers. If he is arrested, I request him not to resign but to run the government from jail itself. We also failed their formula because we are honest people.
