Hyderabad: In a recent press conference, top BJP leader Amit Shah addressed concerns regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi's future leadership in the country after the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. Shah dismissed claims made by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal that Modi was seeking votes for making Shah his successor, citing an age limit of 75 years. Shah made it clear that there is no such rule in the BJP's constitution and that Modi will continue to lead the country even after he turns 75 next year.
Responding to Kejriwal's accusations, Shah stated, "I would like to tell Arvind Kejriwal and the entire India alliance, do not be too quick to celebrate. There is no official age limit for the BJP's prime ministerial candidate. Modi will complete his term and will continue to lead the country. There is no confusion within the BJP regarding this matter." Kejriwal had previously claimed that Modi was asking for votes for Shah's PM candidacy.
Shah also took the opportunity to criticize Congress and its leaders for their stance on Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir (PoK). He accused the grand old party of wanting to give up India's rights over PoK due to fear of Pakistan's nuclear weapons. Shah made these statements during an election rally in Telangana, where he expressed confidence in the BJP's chances of winning more than 10 Lok Sabha seats in the state.
He also addressed Kejriwal's recent comments on the Supreme Court's interim bail, stating that it does not serve as a clean chit for the CM. Shah then went on to express his confidence in the BJP's ability to emerge as the largest party in South India in terms of Lok Sabha seats. He reminded the audience of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's historic nuclear tests at Pokhran on this day in 1998, which made India a nuclear power.
Shah also took a dig at the Congress for their lack of courage in dealing with terrorism, stating that PM Modi was the only one who had the bravery to conduct surgical strikes and airstrikes against Pakistan. He also condemned Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar and National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah for their comments on Pakistan's nuclear weapons. Shah reassured the audience that as long as the BJP is in power, PoK will remain a part of India.
In response to AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge's comments about the connection between Telangana and Kashmir, Shah praised the state's youth for their patriotism and willingness to fight for Kashmir. He also credited PM Modi for bringing an end to terrorism and naxalism in the country. In conclusion, Shah addressed comments made by Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on the Pulwama incident and surgical strikes, questioning his motives and asserting that Modi's actions were in the best interest of the country.
