Lok Sabha Election 2024 LIVE: Shekhawat jabs at Kejriwal, 'Thanks for admitting BJP's likely triumph in LS polls'

Lok Sabha Election 2024 LIVE: Taking a swipe at Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat ‘thanked’ Kejriwal's acknowledgment of the BJP's anticipated victory for a third consecutive term.

Shekhawat's remarks were prompted by Kejriwal's recent assertions that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would retire in September 2025 and appoint Amit Shah as his successor. He suggested that Kejriwal's statements indicate a lack of confidence in the INDIA bloc's electoral prospects, remarking, “If the INDIA bloc were poised for victory in the Lok Sabha elections, Kejriwal, as a prominent figure in the bloc, would not have made such declarations.”

He dismissed Kejriwal's claims as mere products of imagination aimed at sowing confusion. The senior BJP leader extended his thanks to Kejriwal for indirectly recognizing the BJP's anticipated triumph in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.

Shekhawat also criticised the INDIA bloc leaders, suggesting they were so overwhelmed with confusion and panic that they could not even fabricate a cohesive falsehood.
