Modi is our declared Prime Ministerial candidate and it is under his leadership and because of this declaration that we are going to get that number and get the majority.”

When asked whether Bangalore being an IT hub would benefit Infosys' co-founder and former CEO Nilekani, Kumar said, “Bangalore being a city of IT crowd and young people makes its residents even more well-informed and more enlightened.

Therefore, they also know very well what Nilekani is trying to do.

“People are seeing through his game and therefore we feel that the entire IT crowd and the entire youth crowd want a change at the Centre and they want Congress party to go.

They want Manmohan Singh to go and they do not want Rahul Gandhi, they want an able and capable Prime Minister and they see an able and capable Prime Minister in Modi,” he added.
