    Nadda, Shah, Rajnath assert PM Modi will keep leading Govt

    Date:

    NEW DELHI, May 11 : Senior BJP leaders, including Union ministers Amit Shah and Rajnath Singh, asserted on Saturday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will complete his full term if elected to power, refuting the Aam Aadmi Party's claim that Modi wants Shah to succeed him after turning 75 next year.

    Addressing AAP workers and supporters a day after his release on interim bail, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal claimed that Modi wants to pass on the baton to Shah as the BJP follows the practice of retiring its leaders after they are 75 years of age.

    Hitting back, BJP president J P Nadda said the opposition alliance has no policy and programme to counter Modi. Rattled after sensing defeat, Kejriwal and other opposition leaders are now solely devoted to misleading the country and are talking about an irrelevant issue of Modi's age, he said.

    “There is no such provision regarding age in the BJP's constitution,” he asserted.

    Replying to a query, Shah also told reporters in Hyderabad that there was no such age bar mentioned in the BJP's constitution, asserting that there was no confusion in the BJP over the matter.

    He said, “I want to tell Arvind Kejriwal and company and the whole INDI Alliance that they need not be happy once Modi turns 75. Modi will complete his term. And he will continue to lead the country.

    “There is no confusion in the BJP on the issue. They (Opposition) want to create this confusion.”

    In a post on X, Minister Singh echoed Shah's stand.

    He said the BJP-led Democratic Alliance is contesting the elections under Modi's leadership and that he will become the prime minister for a third term and complete his tenure.

    There is no confusion over it in the BJP, NDA or among people, he said.

    Singh said the kind of loose statements Kejriwal made following his release from jail made it clear that the ruling alliance under Modi is headed to a splendid victory.

    In their despair over their defeat, the opposition alliance has lost its mind, he said, asserting that while Modi symbolises credibility in , Kejriwal stands for the crisis of credibility in politics.

    “The INDI Alliance which is unable to decide on its leadership is speculating unsuccessfully about our leadership… Modi is in the BJP's heart. INDI Alliance leaders do not have even an ounce of the acceptability and credibility that Modi has among people,” he said.

    The country is assured that Modi will further strengthen the resolve to build a developed and take the country to new heights after becoming prime minister for a third term, the former BJP president said.
