Quote examples
Amit Shah
Indian Politician
If a candidate at the MLA or chief ministerial level gets an advantage of belonging to a particular caste while fighting polls, that is one thing. But after having been elected, if you only look after the developmental needs of a particular caste or community, that is a different matter altogether. The BJP has never done that.
Quote examples
Anthea Butler
American Educator
Evangelical women are also large consumers of evangelical media and ministries, and their support of these organizations is crucial. Should they shun both Trump and the predominately male evangelical leadership, it may have a ripple effect in these organizations' fundraising abilities and their ministerial efforts.

Linda Colley
British Historian

Quote examples
Raj Thackeray
Indian Politician
I never criticized Modi. All I said was that Modi cannot be a chief minister and still nurse prime ministerial ambitions. I only suggested that he should resign as the chief minister and then stake his claim to be prime minister.
Quote examples
Rajnath Singh
Indian Politician
There is a system in BJP as to who would be projected as a chief ministerial candidate or a prime ministerial candidate. The proper forum to take decision is only central parliamentary board.

My ministerial career is 100 percent behind me, so I can be slightly braver about taking positions which I did argue for while in office, but was constrained by collective responsibility.

Jeremy Corbyn
British Politician
I haven't had vast amounts of ministerial experience - in fact, none at all. But I do have a lot of experience of people.

American Public Servant
Raising the debt limit on some levels is a ministerial act. It doesn't involve any new spending.
