Sonu Sood Ji ke saath bharat ke unn laakho parivaro ki duaye hai jihne mushkil ghadi me Sonu ji ka saath mila tha. ( Millions of difficulties came across the path of truth, but the victory belongs to the truth. There are prayers of millions of families of India with Sonu Sood Ji who supported people in their difficult times)"

Even many linked the raids to this association and he is the brand ambassador of 'Desh Ka Mentor' program, but Asif Bhamla, the BJP spokesman, criticized such claims.
