I appreciate Modi but secularism is must: Jagan

"Religion is something personal. Why should religion be politicized," he asked.



"I want Modi to bring about such a change where every party in this country fights on a secular platform. I want to see India that respects everybody as a person," he added.

When a reporter asked if he would support the Congress-led United Progressive Allaince (UPA), Jagan said he would do what other secular parties would do.

"There are other secular parties like Communists and Janta Dal-U. What other secular parties like them would do, I would also do the same. Don't be in a hurry. I have my options."
