Mamata Banerjee quotes:

Change is a continuous process. You cannot assess it with the static yardstick of a limited time frame. When a seed is sown into the ground, you cannot immediately see the plant. You have to be patient. With time, it grows into a large tree. And then the flowers bloom, and only then can the fruits be plucked.

Unlike the Marxists, I have no mind block against the U.S.

I never supported violence. Before the formation of TMC, I was a member of the Congress Party. Gandhi's Congress. Non-violence is a philosophy that runs deep.

I am not God. Nor am I Phantom. I am ready to accept any criticism. I have been in politics for decades. Each and every day, in several media, there is criticism of me.

We are from the very middle class family. We have not come from the English medium school. We came from our regional languages school.

I don't think the elite class is only speaking the good English.

We are not Marxist or capitalist; we are for the poor people.

Our party, I can tell you, is very transparent; we believe in our credentials. Our credentials are our only credibility; we are not going to compromise on that; we are the commoners.

Few states, they have the international borders, state borders; in India, there is so much diversity in system. Unity in diversity is our system, so therefore, you cannot take for granted, whatever you do.

The death is unfortunate. It is an accident. It is not police atrocity . It is a small and petty matter.

We welcome the Election Commission's announcement of a five-phase poll in the state. We will abide by all the guidelines and directives issued by the Commission.

Mamata Banerjee is just a casual worker, just like a commoner.

I have seen in my life, I have struggled so much. I did not get support from anyone.
