Former Haryana Chief Minister and BJP candidate from Karnal Lok Sabha seat, Manohar Lal Khattar on Sunday criticised Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, saying that he was "out of his mind."
Following the comment made by the Delhi CM on Saturday that Narendra Modi will retire after turning 75 and Amit Shah will become the prime minister, Manohar Lal Khattar said, "He (Arvind Kejriwal) is out of his mind. This is our job and that of our party leadership. There is no age limit in the constitution as to how long a person will hold the post of Prime Minister." "If you ask Amit Shah, he will tell you who is going to become the prime minister. PM Modi will remain PM this time as well, and may the Lord grant him to remain PM for a long time ahead," he added. The Delhi Chief Minister, Arvind Kejriwal, claimed on Saturday that PM Modi is making way for Home Minister Amit Shah, alleging they will leave Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath out in the cold after the general elections. "These people ask the INDIA Alliance who will be their prime minister. I ask the BJP: who will be your prime minister? PM Modi is turning 75 on September 17. He made a rule that leaders in the party would retire after 75 years. LK Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, Sumitra Mahajan, and Yashwant Sinha were retired and now PM Modi is going to retire on September 17th," CM Kejriwal added. 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 added. Further, on May 11, the Delhi Chief Minister also claimed that no other party has been allegedly "harassed to this extent in the past 75 years". He targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who he said is claiming to "fight" corruption, "but all the thieves are in his party.". He also warned that all the opposition leaders, including Chief Ministers Mamata Banerjee, and MK Stalin, would be sent to jail in case the BJP-led NDA comes to power after the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Kejriwal was released from Delhi's Tihar Jail on May 10, 50 days after he was jailed on corruption charges linked to the alleged liquor policy scam and hours after the Supreme Court granted bail until June 1. In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, all seven parliamentary seats in Delhi will vote on May 25, the sixth of the seven-phase nationwide polling. (ANI)
