Politician

I am proud of my government. Like China, we also built hospitals within 15-20 days.

Some people derive pleasure in constructive work while some are happy in destruction.

The future of my government is not in the hands of the opposition. The steering wheel is in my hands.

Acts and laws are for people. People are not for Acts and laws. Acts and laws should be simple.

I was never under pressure of power.

It is true that the Thackerays have never fought elections. But we have never backed out from responsibilities.

If people don't want a bullet train, then it will not happen.

I am not bothered what critics say till people trust me. I am honest with my work.

If one cannot use technology then it is really unfortunate.

Maharashtra knows what Thackeray family is. Devendra Fadnavis has accused me of lying. Even if Amit Shah and company accuses me of lying, people knows who is lying and who tells the truth.

I can't be seen as someone who lies.

Politicization of Sushant Singh Rajput's death was cheap politics... worse than perversity.

I will not tolerate killing of trees in the dead of the night.

It seems the BJP desperately needs to win Mumbai to stand on its feet once again. After all, the greed to win Mumbai will continue to remain, no matter how many States you win.

I take guidance regularly from NCP chief Sharad Pawar Saheb and occasionally speak Soniaji Gandhi.

The Congress doesn't have the leadership. What exactly is Rahul Gandhi doing is the question... sometimes he says something good, at times he makes a mess.

The manner in which people's families and children are targeted does not suit Maharashtra's culture. The ones targeting families and children must remember that even they have families.

Government should show the list of farmers, who have got benefitted from loan waiver. Farmers' loan of Rs 39 lakh crore was waived off. So, why is government hiding their names?

During Lok Sabha elections, Amit Shah and Fadnavis came to me. During talks, I was given offer of deputy CM post. I said I am not so helpless. I have given a promise to Balasaheb that a Maharashtra CM will be from Shiv Sena. So I did not agree and stayed firm.

There was never a need to call the Army in Mumbai. I am proud of the administration which rose to the challenge and set up jumbo field hospitals for treatment of coronavirus patients in the city.
