Former Congress leader Acharya Pramod Krishnam replying to a question on Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's remark that 'Amit Shah will be the next PM if BJP wins', said, "No other leader is more democratic than the Prime Minister of India. The opposition abuses PM Modi every day and if he was a dictator, they would not be able to do that...Lok Sabha elections are underway and PM Modi will take oath as the Prime Minister for the third time."

On Delhi Chief Minister's remark, the Union Home Minister said, "The people of this country, be it from East, West, North, South or Northeast, they are standing with Modi. All the leaders of the INDI alliance know that we are going to cross 400 seats and Modi ji will become the PM of this country for the third time, that is why they are spreading this type of misconception. I want to clarify that there is no such provision in BJP's constitution and Modi ji will lead the country till 2029 and Modi ji will also lead the coming elections. There is no good news for I.N.D.I.A  bloc...They cannot win elections by spreading such lies..."
