"The People who Voted for Congress & NCP are also Maharastrians."

“You can’t say I caused the Sena’s defeat. I can say that my candidates lost because of Sena as they have won a sizeable number of votes,”

"The Sena- BJP should thanks us for not fielding candidates in all the constituencies."

R.R. Patil (NCP): "The MNS has proved that it can spoil the chances of the Sena-BJP. But it remains to be see if it can win seats in the future.

Uddhav Thackeray(Shiv Sena) : "Now Mumbai does not have a single marathi mp who will raise voice forthe city's problems in Parliament. "

Nitin Gadkari (BJP): "We have to find a solution to the MNS problem"

Sanjay Raut (Shiv Sena):" It is not as big a defeat as it is being made out to be. We had 12 MPs at the 2004 Lok Sabha polls and now we are done to eleven. MNS did make an impact but it was marginal"

MNS Leader (MNS): “There were many who did not vote for the MNS thinking their vote would be wasted. But now they will have realised that the MNS is a strong option. We will get a lot more in the coming assembly polls and are sure to win at least 40 seats in the state elections,”
