“The last issue I remember where a president was involved was in the capital punishment of 1993 blasts convict Yaqub Memon. Otherwise, in your life, in my life, how does a president make a difference? Has a president ever stated his point of view on anything?”
“I kept asking what my role was in the Sena. I was told that I was responsible for Nashik, but I really did not have any rights there.”
“I am clear I will support the BJP only because of Mr. Modi.”
“I never criticized Modi. All I said was that Modi cannot be a chief minister and still nurse prime ministerial ambitions. I only suggested that he should resign as the chief minister and then stake his claim to be prime minister.”

“A good man should be on the PM's chair. The country's condition should improve. Only because of this I have supported Modi. You may call it a masterstroke or anything else.”
“The message has to go to U.P. and Bihar that there is no space left in Mumbai for you. After destroying the city, the migrants will go back to their villages. But where will we go then?”
“Many people compare the agitation of MNS with Shiv Sena because of the mode of agitation. But the main difference is that while Shiv Sena launched an agitation for the poor Marathi unemployed youth, the agitation of MNS is directed against the 'goondaism' of North Indians.”
