Our party is not against any caste or religion. Our party is not caste or religion specific. We want to make a society based on equality.Collection: Equality
There is a possibility that the BJP can start the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya just before Lok Sabha elections. They can even sponsor some dramatic events in the name of patriotism to save their government and hide their failures. Be aware of such conspiracies.Collection: Patriotism
We will use political power as a tool to improve the lives of the people.Collection: Power
Every party faces ups and downs. After independence, parties like Jansangh and BJP had been finished.Collection: Independence
In every community there are poor and unemployed people.
We have given a government where people feel safe... we gave Dalits a life of dignity.
My aim is to have a Bahujan Samaj government at the Centre, which was also the dream of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar.
If you want your uplift and development, vote for BSP.
I am not scared while I am in Uttar Pradesh. But after BSP got an absolute majority there and began making inroads in other states, the other parties got unhappy. That's why they keep telling me to stay in U.P. where I have my own Government and I can be safe.
When I will become prime minister, SC Mishra, Naseemuddin Siddiqui and Swami Prasad Maurya will be Union ministers with with important portfolios but the chief minister of UP will only be a Dalit who has dedicate his life for BSP.
'Neechi rajniti' does not mean politics of backward communities. Modi has distorted the statement to link with caste to play backward card for political gains.
People know that the Samajwadi Party will bring back Goonda Raj.
Congress has no vision for U.P. They want to milk U.P. for those 80 parliamentary seats.
In 2007 elections, people voted for us in the hope that we would get rid of Goonda Raj, as the criminals of SP had made life difficult for them.
Apart from being a Dalit's daughter, I am also the daughter of India.
I have worked not just for the Dalits but for all sections of the society.
If I can become U.P. chief minister, then I think a day will surely come when the dreams of our people will come true.
No one could stop me from becoming the chief minister of U.P.
For the Gandhi family, U.P. elections have always been a big picnic.
We don't agree with the notion of the government to remove governors. It is unconstitutional.
Apart from being a chief minister, I am also the national president of my party. So I have to take care of the party in other states as well as in U.P.
I am a hard-working girl.
I have no hassles handling U.P. For 57 years, the state has been ruled by non-BSP parties which is why it is so backward. In my first term as the chief minister, in four months I did the work of four years.
I have come to know that in BJP married women get nervous when their husbands go near Modi, fearing that like him their husbands may also leave them.
The 'sanskari' people in the country address me as 'Behenji.' Even my parents address me as 'Behenji' and so does Akhilesh Yadav.
People know that my policies are meant for development of all communities.
Which school did Modi go to? Either teacher was not good or he did not take interest in studies.
BJP has traditionally been against backward communities and minorities.
Why did Modi not declare his caste if he is from backward community? It makes clear that he is not from backward community.
We will get an absolute majority, I don't need anybody's help, the BSP will form the government on its own.
Muslims have realized that a vote for the SP means wasting their vote.
The SP leadership is busy fighting among themselves. The only party that can stop the BJP from coming to power is the BSP.
BJP can only divide and terrorize people.
Efforts must be made to make BSP a viable alternative to form government in the state.
Politics being done by BJP and Congress by leveling accusations at each other over India-China border issue is not in the interest of the nation. It is a matter of great concern.
I want to tell BJP and Congress that BSP is not a toy for anyone. It's an independent party formed at the national level.
Respected Kanshi Ramji has supported my rise in politics right from the beginning.
Rajnath and Mulayam Singh are birds of the same feather.
I have been chief minister twice. In 1997 I was in office for six months, and during that period I did a lot of work, much more than what anybody can do in six years.
The bureaucrats tremble because they don't perform. In the past nobody checked their work. Now that I do it they are scared.
I don't just issue instructions. I follow up to see if they have been obeyed.
I have done more for Muslims than Mulayam Singh Yadav has.
I have good relations with many BJP leaders.
When you walk into anybody's house with footwear, you tend to bring in germs and bacteria.
Mind you, if I were taking money for transfers, I would not have been able to even look the officials in the eye, not to speak of dealing with them with an iron hand, which I have been doing.
You see, in a family everyone is not alike, someone may be a weakling. Now, as head of the family, it is natural for you to focus greater attention on the weaker member so that he can be brought at par with the others, isn't it? But that does not mean I am sidelining the others.
Both the BJP and the SP are trying to create communal tension but people have become aware.
When the BSP was in power, there were no communal riots.
It is the BSP that will get Brahmin votes. In fact we will get votes of all communities.
No one should interfere in the religion of another.
