'Don't distance me from public making me Modi ji, I am Modi': PM to BJP leaders

| @indiablooms | 07 Dec 2023, 12:53 pm

New Delhi/IBNS: Months ahead of the next General Elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) are brimming with confidence after it registered landslide victories in the Hindi heartland comprising Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh.

Ahead of the day's session in Parliament on Thursday, Modi attended the parliamentary party meeting where he was reportedly given a standing ovation by his colleagues.

However, Modi, who is the supreme leader of the ruling party, is not happy with the way he is referred to by BJP members.

Instead of "Modi ji", he prefers "Modi", the term that has swept several elections over the last decades.

"Don’t distance me from the public by making me 'Modi ji'. I am Modi," the Prime Minister said as quoted by The Indian Express.

The assembly polls in these states were touted as a semi-final contest ahead of the general elections in less than six months.

On the BJP’s impressive performance in the Assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said the results indicate that "Indians are firmly with politics of good governance."

Despite a less-than-stellar performance in Telangana, the BJP managed to inflict significant damage in the closely watched Kamareddy Assembly constituency.
