New Delhi [India] May 12 : UP Congress president Ajay Rai on Sunday supported Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's claim that if the BJP comes to power again, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath would be side-lined.
Rai claimed that the BJP must have felt that CM Yogi is getting stronger after regaining power in the state. Earlier the party did the same with Shivraj Singh Chouhan in Madhya Pradesh, with Vasundhara Raje in Rajasthan and with Raman Singh in Chhattisgarh, Rai claimed.
"What he has said definitely carries weight. They must be feeling that Yogi Adityanath is getting stronger in UP as he has got his second term. This is what has happened in Madhya Pradesh with Shivraj Singh Chouhan in Rajasthan with Vasundhara Raje and with Raman Singh in Chhattisgarh," said Ajay Rai.
Earlier, Kejriwal on Saturday claimed that PM Modi after turning 75 next year will make way for Home Minister Amit Shah and also alleged Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will be left out in the cold after the general elections.
Later, in response to Kejriwal's claim CM Yogi had said that knowing their defeat in the Lok Sabha elections, desperate opposition is making futile attempts.
In his post on X, CM Yogi said, "The entire propaganda of the opposition has failed in the face of the immense public support that the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi ji is receiving from East to West and North to South. Knowing that its defeat in the Lok Sabha elections is certain, the desperate opposition is making futile attempts to launch attack by using the excuse of Modi ji's age."
Further, he asserted that the people of India know that every moment of Modi ji is dedicated to taking Mother India to the ultimate glory.
