08:39 pm: What happened in Muzaffarpur was a crime against humanity. Nitish Kumar should be criticised for his prolonged silence but it was equally wrong to hold a candle march in Delhi's Jantar Mantar over the incident, says Kumar Vishwas

08:37 pm: It was not right on Rahul Gandhi's part to wink inside Parliament, but there are several other important issues to be discussed, says Kumar Vishwas

07:35 pm: We can't let Rohingyas stay in India. We are in touch with Myanmar, Bangladesh governments over the issue. Rohingyas are being used for anti-India propaganda, says Kiren Rijiju

05:02 pm: You name any one scheme launched by PM Modi which favours only one community. The topic of debate should be Modi and people of India and not Modi and Muslims. The Opposition has a habit of  seeing everything with prism of Hindu-Muslim, says Rakesh Sinha

04:34 pm: Arrogance is bad in politics. People will give the BJP a befitting reply. If there has been no corruption in Rafale deal then why are you running away from responding to questions being put, says Raj Babbar

04:13 pm: The Congress is yet to come to terms that Narendra Modi has become the PM.

04:11 pm: PM Modi has now forgot to mention his pet schemes like Make in India, Skill India and others because all such efforts have been  a big failure. Even a mattress is ordered from China for PM Modi's event, says Raj Babbar

12:47 pm: I can give several examples within BJP where a father was CM and son an MLA while gandson was another leader. There isvast difference between what BJP says and does: Sharma

12:30 pm: Arrogance in politics is a major mistake. BJP should not forget that the party started its journey with two seats in 1984 and when the public decides against you it's not difficult to come back to two. It is true that we have been reduced to 44 seats. But it is also true that BJP has consecutively lost 11-12 by-elections held recently: Tewari
