Asserting that Narendra Modi will continue to be the prime minister in the third term of NDA, union home minister Amit Shah today sought to clarify that the BJP Constitution has no rule that a leader who reaches the age of 75 years should not hold the post. 

“Modiji is not only going to complete this term but will continue to lead the country in future. There is no confusion in BJP. They want to create confusion,” he said when asked to comment on Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal’s statement in which he said that PM Modi should be retiring after turning 75 on Sept 17.

“I want to say this to Arvind Kejriwal and company and the entire INDI alliance you need not rejoice over Modiji turning 75. It’s not written anywhere in the BJP’s constitution,” he said at a Press conference in Hyderabad.

To another question, he said that the Supreme Court has given only interim bail to Delhi chief minister Kejriwal.

“Arvind Kejriwal has been given interim bail for the election campaign. He prayed in front of the Supreme Court that his arrest was wrong, but the Supreme Court did not agree to it. He filed a petition for bail which was also rejected. The court has given only interim bail till June 1 and on June 2 he has to surrender in front of the agencies. If Arvind Kejriwal considers this as a clean chit, then his understanding of the law is weak,” he said.
