Delhi: On Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav's statement, BJP MP Praveen Khandelwal says, "What Akhilesh Yadav did when he was the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh is recorded in history. His treatment of Mayawati is also a matter of historical record. Leaders like Akhilesh Yadav, who have now lost their support base, are making allegations in advance to evade responsibility. He knows that his party will lose the MLC elections. To avoid being held responsible for the defeat and being labelled an unsuccessful leader like Rahul Gandhi, Akhilesh Yadav is making such statements."

Delhi: Roller Skating Federation of India president Tulsiram Aggarwal says, "They were not in the medal tally earlier, but in the non-medal competitions, we won gold in six of them. If we add those, the total comes to 45. Among these, in speed skating—the running race—there is a ring, which is circular, called a 200-meter bank track, and a road ring for road races. For the first time, we won 14 medals in Korea—something unthinkable, which we could never have imagined. Exactly a month later, at the World Speed Skating Championship in Beidaihe, China, our skater Anand Velkumar from Tamil Nadu won two gold medals for the first time—one in the 1,000-meter race and the other in the 42-kilometer marathon. In addition, our skaters Aneesh Raj and Aniruddha Vinod from Kerala won two bronze medals."

Delhi: BJP MP Praveen Khandelwal says, "Under the guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has worked towards eliminating Naxalism from the country. Similarly, the drug trade will now be eliminated. We have seen the consequences of drug trafficking in Punjab and how it has affected the lives of young people and families, leaving many families devastated. This is well known. Amit Shah has also met some of these families. Certainly, eliminating drugs is among the priorities of our government and party, and we will continue working towards this goal."

Mathura, Uttar Pradesh: On SP leader Azam Khan, Minister Swatantra Dev Singh says, "Azam Khan has always given anti-Hindutva and anti-India statements within Uttar Pradesh which you must have seen... And that is why for whatever wrong acts he committed against the law—ranging from matters related to the university to other actions—the law has now punished and penalized him today; supporting a wrong person has always been a habit of the Samajwadi Party..."

Chandigarh: On Assembly LoP Partap Singh Bajwa, Aam Aadmi Party General Secretary and Media In-charge Baltej Singh Pannu says, "The Chief Minister had once dubbed Bajwa sahib as 'Partap Singh Bhajpa' instead of Partap Singh Bajwa.

Chandigarh: Aam Aadmi Party General Secretary and Media In-charge Baltej Singh Pannu says, "The opposition should read the writing on the wall clearly: the Aam Aadmi Party will return to power in 2027, and Bhagwant Mann will become Punjab Chief Minister for the second time. As for the NDA, it is on its way out of power at the Centre. The time is nearly up for the government formed with stolen votes."

Delhi: On the Rashtriya Cricket League, actor Shahbaz Khan says, "I congratulate Arvind Kumar for launching this 'Hunger-Free India' initiative. They are saying that one run will feed 20 people, and now they are saying 40 people. I say one run should feed 100 people. The more people we feed, the more prayers and blessings we will receive."

Hyderabad, Telangana: BJP MP Eatala Rajendar says, ''In the 19th century in Mahabubnagar, Panduga Sayanna fought against the oppression of the regime and landlords at that time for the rights of the people. At a time when the poor were dying of hunger and had no food to eat, he would take grain stocks from the landlords, distribute them, and feed the poor. He fought for the poor throughout his life. Today, on October 22nd, his birth anniversary is being celebrated here..''

Delhi: Roller Skating Federation of India president Tulsiram Aggarwal says, "In 1974, as we would say, during the Asian Games in Tehran, our team went to participate for the first time. Since 1990, we have been consistently participating in all international championships and competitions. As we all know, participating and showing valor, or participating and performing, are two different things. We have started performing on the world map since 2024. Before that, we occasionally won a medal or two, but we cannot consider that as major progress or development in the sport; we cannot treat it as a big achievement. However, I would like to share one thing: since 2000, we have been engaging international coaches from Italy, whether for speed skating, inline hockey, rink hockey, or artistic skating. You all might know artistic skating—it is similar to gymnastics, and you might have also seen ice hockey on social media. At the Asian level, we are doing very well and have been performing well for many years. In 2025, last year, at the 20th Asian Roller Skating Championship held in Jecheon, South Korea, around 172 of our competitors participated. The competition lasted for about 12 days. After that, for the first time, I am very happy to share with you all that we won 39 medals—the highest-ever medal tally for us"

Hyderabad, Telangana: Prakash Mudiraj, Deputy Chairman of the Telangana Legislative Council says, ''Sayanna Jayanthi is the warrior who fought against the landlords, zamindars, and jagirdars in the Nizam rule. He was born in Merugonda Palli village in the old Mahabubnagar district. Actually, he is much more lauded by the people. The Nizam State leaders took a conspiracy view on him and killed Andugula Sayanna in the last century.''

Delhi: On the Rashtriya Cricket League, actor Raza Murad says, "We have not come here to win or lose. Instead of winning in cricket, we have come here to win the fight against hunger. For every run scored, 10 hungry people will receive food. If you score four runs, 40 hungry people will receive food..."

Delhi: On the Rashtriya Cricket League, BJP MP Ravi Kishan says, "...The number of runs scored today will determine how many hungry people receive food. With this wonderful initiative, we are taking forward the Fit India Movement as we begin today's match."

Hyderabad, Telangana: BJP MP Konda Vishweshwar Reddy says, "Which INDIA alliance are you talking about? We are the INDIA alliance. Who is this INDIA alliance? Congress? It is not INDIA alliance; it is INDI—INDI. Oh, you mean Congress's INDI alliance. How can the INDI alliance hold a meeting? They say one ran away, his friend ran away to London. Dhruv Rathee ran away...''

Hyderabad, Telangana: On AIMIM contesting in UP election, BJP MP Konda Vishweshwar Reddy says, "This is a democracy. Anyone can contest from anywhere within the country. And voters have to vote for their country. Look, the more people contest for the country, the better it is. Whether it is our allied parties or the opposition, that is what democracy is all about. Should only one contest? Should only two contest? Everyone can contest..''

Ambala, Haryana: Electricity department employees in Haryana have begun a strike against the alleged privatisation of the power sector. Balwant Yadav, HSEB Worker Union Mandal President says, "On the call of the Sanyukt Morcha, every single power employee and officer across the state has gone on a three-day strike starting last night at 10:00 PM. If our grievances are not resolved, this strike will turn into an indefinite one after three days upon the call of our central committee. During this period, none of our power employees or officers will carry out any work and will remain absent from duty. If power supply is disrupted for consumers, the government can make alternative arrangements to fix it..."
