PM Modi quickly responded saying, "People may say now that he's saying what Modiji says, He belongs to BJP now." (Phir toh log kahenge ye toh Modiji ki baat bata raha hai.. phir kahenge tum BJP wale ho gaye ho). Both share a laugh on the stage and then Ranveer said that PM Modi himself is speaking the youth's language, hence people might think so.
