BJP will take corrective steps, says Ram Madhav

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Ram Madhav on Sunday dismissed suggestions that the appeal of PM Narendra Modi was on the wane in view of the Bihar poll verdict, but said that the party would take corrective steps.

“We try to learn from every election. Give us some time. We will take corrective measures,” he said. 

Rejecting the view that the appeal of Modi, who led the BJP campaign, was on the wane, he said the Prime Minister remained their “strongest” factor and the party was right in using its strongest factor to the most. 

Asked if BJP was conceding defeat, he said, “whatever is the mandate will be accepted” but added the counting was still in progress.
