"Modi creates waves wherever he goes and the large number of people who attend his rallies show that they expect him to bring about a change," Singh said.
Singh, who resigned as Mumbai Police Commissioner last week to join BJP, said he is impressed with the party's line of thinking and would contest the 2014 Lok Sabha election if the party asked him to do so.
"I am ready to contest elections from anywhere in the country if the party asks me but my native place is my first choice," said Singh who belongs to Basauli near Meerut in Uttar Pradesh.
The former Mumbai police chief termed politicians in Maharashtra as "mature" and said he did not face any interference from them during his career.
"I did not experience any intereference from political leaders in Maharashtra since they are very mature," Singh said.
