Speaking about one strong prime minister what India needs at the moment, Rawal asserted, "A benevolent dictatorship is what India needs."

Endorsing Modi as the next prime minister of the country, Rawal said, "To make Narendra Modi our next prime minster is the most important agenda for me and people of my constituency during this election."

Rawal replaced seven time MP Harin Pathak as the BJP candidate from Ahmedabad (East). Rawal also had campaigned for Modi and other BJP candidates during the 2012 state assembly elections. Gujarat is going to polls on Wednesday, April 30.
