New Delhi [India], December 4 : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday reserved high praise for BJP national president JP Nadda after the party swept the Hindi heartland, winning decisive mandates in Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan.
Adressing party supporters at a victory rally at the BJP headquarters in the national capital on Sunday, Prime Minister Modi commended Nadda for his organisational skills and the tireless work that he put in behind the scenes, laying the groundwork for the party's eventual electoral success in the heartland states.

Whenever the BJP has fought an election, PM Modi has always led us from the front," Nadda said.
"Whether it is women's empowerment or fulfilling the dreams of the youth, the people have faith in PM Modi. It is clear that ' (Modi makes anything possible)."
Prime Minister Modi also sounded gung-ho about the party's chances of scoring a hat-trick of wins in next year's Lok Sabha polls.
