On cross border attacks from Pakistan even after surgical strike :

Ek ladai se Pakistan sudhar jayega, yeh sochna bohot badi ghalti hogi. Pakistan ko sudharne mein abhi aur samay lagega.

On Demonetization :

This wasn’t a jhatka. We had warned people a year before, that if you have such wealth (black money), you can deposit it, pay penalties and you will be helped out. However, they thought Modi too would behave like others so very few came forward voluntarily.

On whether 2019 elections would be anybody vs Modi:

It is going to be ‘Janta’ versus ‘gathbandhan’. Modi is just a manifestation of public love and blessings.
