BJP can never be an "individual-centric" party as it is based on ideology, Union minister Nitin Gadkari said, denying allegations that Bharatiya Janata Party has become "Modi-centric".
He also disapproved apprehensions of a fractured mandate and claimed the party will get more seats than the last Lok Sabha polls.
"BJP neither became Atal or Advaniji's party in the past, nor it can ever be only Amit Shah or Narendra Modi's party," he said in an interview to PTI at his residence here.
Stressing "BJP is a party based on ideology," Gadkari said it is wrong to say that "BJP has become Modi-centric."
He, however, said the BJP and Prime Minister Modi are "complementary to each other."
