Even as the Aam Aadmi Party and the BJP remain engaged in a bitter spat over the formation of the next government in Delhi, AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal and party spokesperson Kumar Vishwas on Tuesday praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi in two different TV shows.

Speaking to Headlines Today, Kejriwal said Modi is the most popular leader in the country today. He also said that he appreciated Modi's invite to the SAARC leaders for his swearing-in ceremony in May this year.

"It is not necessary for every leader to play his drums. Though Modi has not made much difference in his first 100 days, but there is still a lot of hope," Kejriwal said.

Kejriwal's colleague in the AAP, Kumar Vishwas, also lauded Modi for his recent trip to Japan and said the PM should be given a chance by the opposition to run the country.

In another show for a news channel, Vishwas also reportedly said that he will perform at an event to celebrate Modi's birthday on September 17.

The poet-turned-politician, who had contested against Rahul Gandhi in the last Lok Sabha polls, however denied that he is joining the BJP.
