Union Home Minister Amit Shah “clarified” on Saturday that “[Naredra] Modiji won’t be replaced” after he attains 75 year’s of age. “Modiji ko badalna hi nahi hai, maine spasht kar diya hai, [We don’t have to replace Modiji, I have made it clear]” Shah said while speaking at a press conference in Hyderabad on Saturday.
“It is already decided that he won’t be replaced,” the home minister said.
Shah said this is a response to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal’s statement on PM Modi’s retirement. “In 2014, PM Modi himself made a rule that BJP leaders will retire after the age of 75. Modiji is turning 75 on 17 September next year. I want to ask Modiji, are you asking for votes for Amit Shah?” Kejriwal asked.
Amit Shah also refuted Kejriwal’s claim about the BJP “replacing” Yogi Adityanath as the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister.
