Quotes
Narendra Modi
Prime Minister of India speaking at SRCC
“You may have heard my speech from Red Fort. I gave a homeopathic pill from the Red Fort - dimagi Naxal. According to the principles of homeopathy, when you begin homeopathic treatment, the disease initially gets worse. That is the nature of homeopathy.”
NDTV
“Similarly, as soon as I gave the 'dimagi Naxal' homeopathic pill, all the 'dimagi Naxals' started coming out one after another. And now the public is also seeing the true colours of those who are promoting this illness.”
NDTV
