Madhav, however, adding that in terms of popularity and popular confidence at national level politics, no one is close to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Moreover, He said that, Indian electorate has given the verdict, which decided to return Arvind Kejriwal again in the National Capital, it also considered as maturity of the electorate. We will analyse it as far as our party (BJP) is concern, what probably did not in our favour.

In other words, “We also told the liberals across the world that Indian democracy is quite robust. That is what happened in the National Capital. This entire propaganda that Indian democracy is under threat has been proved totally wrong”.

“We have moved into a new kind of politics, we should be careful as a party and we are. We should not lose sight of the fact that you build leaders who are strong and have support”, he added at TNS. Following the PTI report, The same situation we are facing in state after state. In states, it also comes to who is the leader who can deliver. Probably people are thinking on these lines. Perhaps one of the messages from this (Delhi) election is that”, he asserted.
