Kejriwal was referring to BJP's unofficial retirement rule for leaders aged 75 and went on to ask if PM Modi will be retiring in 2025 as he will turn 75 on September 17 that year.
"PM Modi is turning 75, on 17th September. He made a rule that leaders in the party would retire after 75 years. Lal Krishna Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, Sumitra Mahajan, and Yashwant Sinha were retired and now PM Modi is going to retire on 17th September," Kejriwal said.
“I want to tell Arvind Kejriwal and the INDIA alliance that there is no need to be happy about Modiji turning 75. It is not written in the Constitution of the BJP that Modiji cannot become prime minister. He will again become prime minister and complete the term,” Shah said.
