अगर आपको लगता है कि हमने गंगा को स्वच्छ करने के कदम उठाने बंद कर दिए हैं, तो ऐसा बिल्कुल नहीं है। किसी भी बड़ी दौड़ से पहले, धावक थोड़ी देर रुकता है, अपनी मंजिल का जायजा लेता है और फिर पूरी ताकत से दौड़ पड़ता है। इसलिए, हमारी मंजिल अक्टूबर 2018 है जब हम दुनिया को दिखा देंगे कि गंगा दुनिया की सबसे साफ नदियों में से एक है
If you think we have stopped taking steps towards clean Ganga, it is not so. Before any big race, a sprinter stops a bit, assesses the destination and then sprints towards it. So, our destination is October 2018 when we will show it to the world that Ganga is one of the cleanest rivers in the world

देवी-देवता किसी जाति या धर्म से बंधे नहीं हैं। भगवान राम और भगवान हनुमान भाजपा के कार्यकर्ता नहीं हैं; ये देवी-देवता तो जनसंघ के अस्तित्व में आने या मुगलों और अंग्रेजों के शासनकाल से भी पहले से मौजूद हैं
Deities are not bound to any caste or religion. Lord Ram and Lord Hanuman are not party workers of the BJP; the deities existed even before the existence of the Jana Sangh or before the rule of Mughals and Britishers

गाँव में बैलगाड़ी चलाने वाले बैलों की पीठ पर घाव बना देते हैं और जब उन्हें गाड़ी तेज चलानी होती है तो वे उसी घाव पर वार करते हैं। इसी तरह, ये विवाद हमारी 'भारत माता' पर गुलामी के घाव और निशान हैं। जब तक बनारस में 'ज्ञानवापी' अपनी वर्तमान स्थिति में बनी रहेगी और पावागढ़ के मंदिर में एक मजार रहेगी, तब तक यह हमें औरंगजेब के उन अत्याचारों की याद दिलाती रहेगी, जिनमें हिंदुओं को इस्लाम में बदलने की उसकी कोशिशें भी शामिल थीं, और यह बात बहुत कष्टदायक है
Owners of bullock carts in villages, create a wound on the back of the ox and when they want their bullock-carts to move faster they strike at the wound. Similarly, these disputes are wounds and marks of slavery on our ‘Bharat Mata’. So long as ‘Gyan Vapi’ continues in its present condition at Banaras and a grave remains in a temple at Pavagarh, it will remind us of the atrocities perpetrated by Aurangzeb including his efforts to convert Hindus to Islam and this would be very painful
