Chennai, Jan 1 (TIWN) A day after Tamil superstar Rajinikanth abandoned his foray into politics, BJP national general secretary, C.T. Ravi on Wednesday said that National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has always been led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in every election it contests and in Tamil Nadu too, it is no different.

Addressing reporters, Ravi said that the alliance with the All India AIADMK will continue.

"For us (BJP) he (Modi) is the ultimate leader and we will campaign in his leadership. It is a wrong perception that the BJP is in search of a star campaigner. Modi is our leader and he will be our best bet in any election, we contest," Ravi told IANS from Chennai.

On Rajinikanth's announcement that he would not launch a political party, Ravi said that he respects his decision.

"Rajinikanth had always protected the national and Tamil Nadu's interests. He is a great leader. I hope our party will ask for his support during elections. Everyone knows, how close his relations with Modi are," he said
