Terming Congress President Rahul Gandhi's prime ministerial aspirations as day-dreaming, senior BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain today asserted that there was no vacancy for the top post till 2024 as Narendra Modi would
again assume it after next year'sgeneral elections.
"Now Rahulji is saying he is ready to become prime minister....he is day-dreaming and congratulations for his beautiful dreams. But there is no vacancy for the PM post till 2024," he said.
"The countrymen chose Narendra Modiji for the prime minister's post and after the 2019 elections also Narendra Modiji will become the country's PM much more stronger... Congress leaders also know this", Hussain told reporters.
He said after Rahul Gandhi became Congress vice president, his party lost 13 states and since taking over as party president, it has lost five. Karnataka, where elections will be held on May 12, would be the sixth one, he said.
The BJP spokesperson further claimed that in order to prevent any rebellion within Congress after its "loss" in Karnataka and to ensure none questions his leadership, Rahul, in a "planned" manner, was himself saying he is ready to become the prime minister.
"Under Narendra Modi's leadership BJP has been winning assembly elections though there may be a few exceptions to the results of some by-polls," he said.
Hussain, who has been campaigning in Bidar and Kalaburagi districts of Hyderabad-Karnataka region of Karnataka, said it was a certainty that BJP would win in Karnataka, "despite the efforts of Siddaramaiah government and Rahul Gandhi". -- PTI
