NEW DELHI: In a rebuff to NDA ally Shiv Sena and a message to the Opposition, leader of another alliance partner and Union Minister Ramvilas Paswan today said there was no vacancy for prime ministership till 2024, going by the recognition people were giving to the good work done by the Government.
Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thakeray had yesterday criticised the BJP for allegedly being in a hurry to impose the leadership of Mr Narendra Modi and said Mr Paswan had prevailed upon other NDA partners in endorsing a resolution passed at an NDA meeting last month in New Delhi declaring that next Lok Sabha elections would be fought under the leadership of the Prime Minister.
”Why has Mr Thakeray awaken after a month? How could I force any leader to endorse the resolution. They were not children. All of us are certain that till 2024, there is going to be no vacancy for prime ministership,” Mr Paswan, who heads the Lok Janshakti Party, said when asked about the Shiv Sena leader’s statement.
