• History has given us the responsibility to save the nation. We must accept this challenge.
West Bengal Chief Minister Jyoti Basu

• Indian people need a tikau sarkar and not a bikau sarkar.
Atal Bihari Vajpayee

• Why shouldn't I be in the race? I can very well be the prime minister if the United Front comes to power.
Jammu & Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah

• Unless there is secularism, the country cannot be held together. We have the experience of eastern Europe before us... An ideology like the BJP's will lead immediately to ethnic strife, conflicts, terrorism, so many things.
Former Kerala chief minister A K Antony

• My understanding is that the people of India, by and large, have accepted Sonia Gandhi as a symbol of the Nehru family.
A K Antony

• If there is at all any Sonia factor, it will affect the BJP vote bank. The people who drink mineral water will now get divided and vote both for the BJP and the Congress. Ultimately, it will help the UF partners.
Janata Dal president Sharad Yadav

• Film stars and cricketers like Imran Khan also draw crowds but they don't get enough votes even to save their deposits.
BJP president L K Advani
