Defence Minister Rajnath Singh described AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal`s comments on Prime Minister Narendra Modi`s "retirement" and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath`s "removal" on Thursday as "absurd and unfortunate". Delhi Chief Minister Kejriwal on Thursday repeated his claim that Modi will retire from politics once he attains 75 years of age in 2025, following the party`s rules, and added that the prime minister is seeking votes for Union Home Minister Amit Shah as his successor. In addition, he claimed that if the BJP were to win back control at the federal level, Adityanath would be ousted as chief minister of Uttar Pradesh in less than two months.
Per a PTI report, hitting back at Kejriwal during a public meeting in Rajajipuram, Singh said, "The chief minister of Delhi said that Modi ji will not become the prime minister after the 2024 elections. I am surprised. He has just come out on bail, he has to go to jail again after June 1 and he is talking such nonsense about the prime minister of India." "The entire country wants Modi ji to be the prime minister in 2024 as well as 2029," he added.
