The Prime Minister's post is not vacant, Amit Shah declared, "Since the people have decided to make Narendra Modi Prime Minister for the third time"
Home Minister Amit Shah, on a visit to Bihar today, took on former ally Nitish Kumar over his alleged ambition for the country's top post.
That post is not vacant, Mr Shah declared, "since the people have decided to make Narendra Modi Prime Minister for the third time".
"One person wants to become the Prime Minister and Lalu ji's son wants to be the Chief Minister," Mr Shah said in Bihar's Nawada, where he went to address a BJP rally.
"I want to tell Lalu-ji - you know Nitish, he can't be the Prime Minister, the post is not available. People of the country have decided that Narendra Modi will become the Prime Minister for the third consecutive term. Once that happens, Nitish Kumar will go back on his promise of handing over the mantle to his deputy Tejashwi Yadav as his dreams of becoming the Prime Minister will be shattered," Mr Shah said in a jibe at Mr Kumar who has been seen as a Prime Ministerial hopeful since his second split from the BJP last year.
