Claiming that Narendra Modi was leading the country in the right direction, BJP leaders led by Union minister Rajyavardhan Rathore Sunday urged people to re-elect Modi as prime minister in 2019. Addressing volunteers of the "Modi for PM" initiative, Rathore urged them to take success stories of government initiatives to the grassroots level.

He reminded them about the alleged scams that were reported about before 2014, and said the then prime minister projected a "weak picture" as authority seemed to be concentrated in "a handful of people". He said Modi raised the issue of blackmoney and ensured that the benefits of government schemes and policies reached the last man in queue. "India has got the direction (disha) under the visionary leader Modi and the condition (dasha) of India is already on its way to improvement," he said.
