Shiv Sena (UBT)’s firebrand leader Sanjay Raut on Monday made a big claim that Prime Minister Narendra Modi went to the RSS office in Maharashtra’s Nagpur on Sunday to “announce his retirement” and added that the next PM will be from the state.
Addressing a press conference in Mumbai, leader of the Uddhav Thackeray faction of Shiv Sena said, “PM Modi went to the RSS office to announce his retirement. As per my knowledge, he has never visited the RSS headquarters in 10-11 years. RSS wants change in leadership. PM Modi is now leaving.”
“RSS will decide the successor of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and he will be from Maharashtra. That’s why Modi was called to Nagpur to discuss it in a close door meeting,” added Sanjay Raut.
A Congress leader also weighed in, saying that he agrees with Sanjay Raut. I think what he said is right. They retire people who cross 75 years. PM Modi is also ageing, so maybe they are thinking about retirement now. He must have gone there to make them happy… RSS is a terrorist organisation and formed organisations like VHP and Bajrang Dal,” news agency PTI quoted Congress leader Husain Dalwai on Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut’s remark.
