Union Home Minister Amit Shah dismissed Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s claims that he would become Prime Minister after Narendra Modi.
Shah emphasized, ‘I want to clarify to Arvind Kejriwal and the INDI alliance that there’s no such provision in the BJP’s constitution. PM Modi will complete his tenure, and he will continue to lead the nation in the future’.
‘Narendra Modiji won’t be replaced after he attains 75 years of age. We don’t have to replace Modiji, I have made it clear’, Shah said while speaking at a press conference in Hyderabad on Saturday.
He added that there’s no confusion within the BJP regarding this matter. Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, who recently obtained interim bail, promptly questioned the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) about the succession plan post-Modi’s retirement next year’, Modi will retire next year, I want to ask the BJP, who is your PM?’.
He continued, ‘While they inquire about the PM candidate of the INDIA bloc, I ask the BJP who will be their contender for the PM post’. During his address, Kejriwal pointed out the precedent of leaders retiring at 75, including LK Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, Sumitra Mahajan, and Yashwant Sinha.
‘Modi should retire next year on 17 September, then who will be your PM?he questioned. Kejriwal further accused the Prime Minister of campaigning for Amit Shah. ‘If their government is formed, they will first dispose of Yogi Adityanath and then make Amit Shah the Prime Minister of the country. PM Modi is asking for votes for Amit Shah. Will Amit Shah fulfil Modi’s guarantee ? he questioned.
