Days after the one-on-one meeting between Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Delhi, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Thursday said Modi is the top leader of the country and the BJP.

He made the statement in response to a question on whether he felt that Modi`s popularity is on a downslide as media reports suggested that RSS is contemplating to project state leaders as the face in the state elections.
