Addressing a joint presser with Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav in Lucknow, Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been carefully preparing the ground for Amit Shah to take over as the next prime minister.
Kejriwal repeated his claim that Amit Shah would become the prime minister after Narendra Modi becomes 75 in 2025 and said the prime minister never said he won't retire after becoming 75.
He went on to say that when he raised the issue of PM Modi's age and retirement in New Delhi, Amit Shah and several other leaders opposed it but PM Modi never mentioned he won't retire at 75.
“The entire country has trust that Modi will not break his rule of retirement age at 75,” Kejriwal said.
"The stage has been set for Amit Shah to be the prime minister. For him, the BJP has sidelined every challenge like Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Dr Raman Singh, Vasundhara Raje, Manohar Lal Khattar, Devendra Fadnavis. Now the only challenge is Yogi Adityanath who will be removed within 2-3 months," Kejriwal said adding that no BJP leader objected to what he said on Adityanath implying that Adityanath's farewell is almost certain.
Speaking on the emerging nationwide trends, AAP supremo said: "the trends show that BJP is getting less than 220 seats. Their seats are going to be reduced in Haryana, Delhi, Punjab, Karnataka, Maharashtra, West Bengal, UP, Bihar, Jharkhand and Rajasthan. BJP is not going to form its Govt, INDIA alliance is going to form its government..."
"Today, in Lucknow I have come to request the voters of UP to vote for the INDIA alliance. I want to talk about four issues. First, in this election PM Modi is asking for votes for Amit Shah, to make him the PM. Second, if BJP comes to power, CM Yogi Adityanath will be removed from his post within 2-3 months. Third, they are going to change the Constitution and the reservation of SC, ST will be removed. Fourth, on June 4th, the INDIA alliance is coming to power..." he said.
