The BJP will win a majority and form a government on its own because of massive support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the party's top leader Ram Madhav said today. "We won't need anyone to form the next government, we are confident," the BJP general secretary told NDTV in an interview.
"The BJP will win a bigger majority than last time, We won't need anyone to form the government, although PM Modi will take everyone along," he said, a day after his comments to Bloomberg were interpreted as an indication that the party was nervous about its numbers and was prepping for greater dependence on allies.
Ram Madhav also dismissed attempts by Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhara Rao or KCR to form a federal front without the BJP or Congress. "Many leaders like the Chief Minister of Telangana (KCR), Andhra (Chandrababu Naidu) dream of becoming kingmaker. When we have king, where is the need for a kingmaker," the BJP leader said.
