There are many leaders in BJP who have sacrificed, and the party functions because of them. Many people have sacrificed their time. I want to ask them, whether I have insulted anyone? The God is witness to it that I have never insulted anyone. But my party men are insulting me. Even a smallest party man makes fun of me. This is not insult of an individual but an insult of a BJP MLA.’
