Arvind Kejriwal’s assertion regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s retirement at the age of 75 was swiftly rebutted by Home Minister Amit Shah, who clarified that no such age-based retirement rule exists within the BJP. Dismissing Kejriwal’s interpretation as misconceived, Shah affirmed Modi’s continued leadership beyond the age of 75.
In response to Kejriwal’s remarks, which implied a succession plan involving himself and Shah, the Home Minister emphasized the absence of any such provision in the BJP’s constitution. He reiterated Modi’s tenure and leadership continuity without ambiguity.
Furthermore, Shah questioned Kejriwal’s confidence and clarified that the interim bail granted to him does not absolve him from legal proceedings, particularly regarding the liquor policy case. Shah highlighted the temporary nature of the relief and underscored Kejriwal’s impending legal obligations post-bail period.
Shah’s remarks emphasized the limitations of Kejriwal’s bail terms and the necessity for him to adhere to the conditions set forth. He stressed that the bail did not confer a clean chit and hinted at the legal challenges awaiting Kejriwal beyond the bail period.
