"Today, the structure of the Congress has become dilapidated like once Babri (mosque) structure in Ayodhya... when Lord Ram's devotees had raised the slogan 'ek dhakka aur do, Babri dhanche ko tod do'.
"The Babri structure has been demolished forever. The structure of slavery was demolished, paving the way for construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya," he said.
"And I have come to make this appeal to you. They want to divide you by doing caste politics. I told you, didn't I say 'batoge toh katoge, ek rahoge toh nek rahoge, koi mai ka laal aapka baal banka nahi kar payega'."Adityanath further alleged the Congress had "created obstacles in building Nankana Sahib corridor".
He also targeted the Congress over 1984 anti-Sikh riots."And what was Rahul Gandhi saying abroad, he was abusing Sikhs. He was defaming India..," he said referring to the Congress leader's recent statement in the US.

Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) leader Vinod Bansal said, "It is such a betrayal towards our religious places which is done through an unforgivable conspiracy. There could be no other crime bigger than this in the world. We worship the mother cow and they used her beef in prasadam, even the fat of pigs and fish oil was used.
"I think a high-level judicial inquiry must be done to make things clear and the harshest punishment should be given to those involved so that no one dares to commit such crime again. VHP demands that Hindu pilgrimages, their sanctity and purity must be protected - especially in those 4 lakh temples which are under govt control. This incident is unprecedented."
Every religion has certain traditions and commitments and the Government needs to respect all of them, Chandrababu Naidu said the same while interacting with the media at the TDP central office.

On Tirupati Prasad row, Acharya Pramod Krishnam said, "This is a betrayal of the faith of crores of Hindus. This is a conspiracy to end and corrupt Sanatana Dharma. This has been happening for centuries but this is an international conspiracy and some Indian political parties are also involved in this.
"The son of Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge, Priyanka Kharge says Sanatana is a dirty word. DMK leaders are saying that Sanatan should be abolished. This conspiracy should be unearthed. Foreign powers want to weaken India and they cannot do that if Sanatana is strong. So they are attacking the Sanatana first. What the Mughals did centuries ago, the same is being done again. It is time that the administration of temples and trusts be handed over to Sanatana. I demand to PM Modi that a high-level committee be constituted and the truth should come out."

"Their agenda is to divide and rule. Congress promoted terrorism and militancy in J&K whereas BJP is working to eliminate terrorism. Congress is a party that divides India based on caste, religion, region and language. Rahul Gandhi when he visits UP he speaks ill of Haryana, when he visits Kerala he speaks ill of UP and when he visits his nani's house Italy he speaks ill of India."
“We are thankful to the people who came out and voted. As per the report, the performance of Congress and NC was good. We hope the enthusiasm we witnessed during the campaigning of the second phase, will be transforming into good results,” he told PTI.

Will you give shelter to those who get certificates from Pakistan?" said BJP President JP Nadda in Jammu.

"The people (of Jammu and Kashmir) have hatred towards BJP but the Congress isn't much better either. You can also see in Himachal how mosques are being demolished. Congress and the BJP are competing against each other to see who can irritate Muslims more. They think that by instigating Muslims, their vote bank will increase. That is the case for most political parties across India," said Apni Party chief Altaf Bukhari.
