Quotes
JP Nadda
Union Minister and BJP leader commenting on Opposition allegations against the Election Commission.
“This is the same toolkit mentality that hatches a new conspiracy every morning to stall the country’s development: level allegations, disrupt the national atmosphere, and flee… This has become their modus operandi. They care nothing for national security, public welfare, or the country’s honor and prestige, their only objective is to grab power, nurture dynastic politics and reap personal benefits.”

“Lacking policies and vision, they are now devising new ploys to spread confusion and anarchy across the country. We all witnessed the uproar created nationwide just a few days ago over a fabricated story. Now, even after the Election Commission has exposed every lie they propagated, they are once again attempting to vitiate the atmosphere.”
