Mumbai: Senior Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Saturday praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his leadership, saying that Mr Modi took the Bharatiya Janata Party to new heights and there is no leader who can match him.
"Prime Minister Narendra Modi is very popular among people of India. He has taken BJP to new heights after Atal Bihari Vajpayee. PM Modi's regime has brought political stability in the country," he told the media persons here.
"There can be a difference in the viewpoint over the working style of PM Modi, but we have to admit the fact that is there is only one Modi Ji and there will be no one like him," he said.
Reacting to the recent searches conducted by the Income-Tax department at premises in Mumbai linked to Bollywood actor Sonu Sood, Mr Raut said, "I have observed that the IT raids were conducted after Mr Sood was appointed as the brand ambassador of an educational programme by the Delhi government and the raids were conducted after his appointment."
"It is a serious matter. Does someone become your enemy if he joins any other political party's programme for the betterment of people," the Sena MP asked BJP.(UNI)
