"We want success and not successor. There is no question of Vajpayee retiring and this is a campaign by a tiring party like Congress," Naidu told reproters here after Congres raked up the issue of naming a successor to Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

Accusing the Congress of playing the dynasty card, Naidu said Congress party is banking on the children as their present leadership has nothing to offer.

He also accused the Congress of going against the mood of the Nation and said be it Pokhran test or Kargil, Congress has always ridiculed or criticized the achievements of NDA government.

"When the entire World started appreciating the stand of India on several issues, Congress started claiming credit for it. You started, but we accomplished them," he said.

Asked whether he expected any parties to join NDA after the polls, the BJP leader said "we are comfortable now. It is for the respective parties to decide"
