Modi is top leader of country and BJP, says Sanjay Raut

MUMBAI: Days after Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray met PM Narendra Modi in Delhi, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Thursday said that PM Modi is the top leader of the country and the BJP.

He made the statement in response to a question on whether he felt that PM Modi’s popularity is on a downslide as media reports suggested that RSS is contemplating to project state leaders as the face in the state elections. “I don’t want to comment on this I don’t go by the media reports. There is no official statement about this. The BJP owes its success to Narendra Modi in the last seven years and currently he is the top leader of the country and his party,” Raut said.

The Sena leader was speaking to reporters in Jalgaon. Insisting that a PM belongs to the entire country and not a particular party, he said, “Hence the PM shouldn’t get involved in election campaigning as it puts pressure on the official machinery.”
