There is no match to Modi at the Centre, claims BJP MP

The success and public response to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s public meeting at Warangal has once again shown that when it comes to the Parliament polls and national issues, people are sure to give their vote to him, claimed Rajya Sabha MP K. Laxman on July 11.
