Sanjay Raut reacts to PM Modi's ‘5 prime ministers in 5 years' jibe at INDIA bloc
PM Narenda Modi claims that INDIA bloc will resort to "One year one PM" formula leading to "5 prime ministers in 5 years".
Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) MP Sanjay Raut on Sunday reacted to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's claims of “5 PMs in five years” if the INDIA bloc is elected to power after the Lok Sabha election 2024. Sanjay Raut said it was the INDIA bloc's prerogative to choose the prime minister. He added that they would even make two or four prime ministers in a year, but wouldn't let the country go towards dictatorship.
"... A coalition government is much better than a democratically elected dictator. Who we choose as our Prime Minister is our wish. We will even make two or four Prime Ministers in a year, but we will not let our country go towards dictatorship," said Sanjay Raut.
Sanjay Raut also claimed that the NDA was losing in both phases of the Lok Sabha election 2024 held till now. “On June 4 (date of counting votes), you will learn that the INDIA bloc is crossing 300 seats.”
Recently, addressing a poll rally, Modi had claimed that the INDIA bloc would resort to a “one year, one PM” formula, leading to "5 prime ministers in 5 years". He asked the people if such an arrangement was acceptable to them. Modi said, “Can we create such a situation in the country?. The world would mock us for it. India's current good image in the world would be shattered.”
