No such rule in BJP constitution: Amit Shah on Kejriwal's 'PM to quit at 75' claim

Home Minister Amit Shah responded to Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's recent remarks asserting, PM retire next year. He is seeking votes to making Amit Shah the Prime Minister. 

"He will retire next year. He is seeking votes to making Amit Shah the Prime Minister. Will Amit Shah fulfil Modi ji's guarantee?" said the AAP chief in a press conference after his release from jail.

"These people ask INDIA bloc about prime ministerial face. I ask BJP who will be their PM? Modi ji is turning 75 on September 17 next year. He himself made the rule in 2014 that people aged 75 will be retired. They retired LK Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, Sumitra Mahajan," Mr Kejriwal said. 

In response, Amit Shah refuted Kejriwal's assertion, stating that there is no provision in the BJP's constitution that mandates a leader to retire at the age of 75. 

"I want to say this to Arvind Kejriwal and company and INDIA bloc that nothing as such (75-year-old limit rule) is mentioned in the BJP's constitution. PM Modi is only going to complete this tenure and PM Modi will continue to lead the country in future. There is no confusion in the BJP," Shah asserted. 

Kejriwal is on bail till June 1. As per court's directive, the Delhi CM has to surrender on June 2.
