On the opposition's claim that the BJP will not win more than 40 seats in the Lok Sabha polls, Mohan said, "What more can they say? Do they have any issues to speak about? They are saying that reservations are going to change and they are saving the Constitution."

"Who should the people for Sheohar vote (if not us)? Should they vote for someone during whose rule murders used to take place, extremism, bribery and kidnapping were taking place?..." Mohan said speaking to ANI.
