Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday dismissed speculation about Prime Minister Narendra Modi라이브 바카라 retirement and talk about a potential successor, he further asserted that PM Modi would continue to lead the country for many more years.

In his first visit to the RSS headquarters in Nagpur after becoming the prime minister 11 years ago, PM Modi on Sunday described the Sangh as the banyan tree' of India's immortal culture.

Maharashtra CM Fadnavis Responds To PM Modi's Successor Speculations

Responding to Shiv Sena UBT leader Sanjay Raut라이브 바카라 claim that Modi went to the RSS headquarters in Nagpur on Sunday to convey the message that he is retiring, Fadnavis told reporters in Nagpur, “In 2029, we will see Modi as the prime minister again.”

“There is no need to search for his successor. He (Modi) is our leader and will continue,” Fadnavis said.

Discussing succession while the leader is active is inappropriate in Indian culture, the CM added.

“In our culture, when the father is alive, it is inappropriate to talk about succession. That is Mughal culture. The time has not come to discuss it,” he said, referring to Raut라이브 바카라 claim that Modi라이브 바카라 successor would come from Maharashtra.

What Did Sanjay Raut Say?

Talking to reporters on Monday, Raut claimed that the RSS wants a change in the political leadership in the country.

"September mein retirement ka application likhne ke liye shayad woh RSS mukhyalay gaye (He (Modi) probably went to RSS headquarters to write his retirement application in September),” Raut claimed, alluding to some leaders in the ruling dispensation retiring at 75. Modi turns 75 in September this year.

Raut also claimed that the Sangh Parivar has finally decided to look beyond PM Modi as he said, "From what I understand the entire Sangh prarivar wants a change in the country's leadership PM Modi's time is over..."

Reactions

Asked about Raut's claim that RSS will select PM Modi's successor from Maharashtra, Bhaiyyaji Joshi said, "I don't have any such information.”

On Modi's visit to Dr Hedgewar Smruti Mandir in RSS headquarters, Joshi said, “Yesterday's programmes went well. We all are happy. His (Modi라이브 바카라) interest in service was evident during the COVID period.

“I feel that his coming here yesterday and laying the foundation stone for Madhav Netralaya centre building has elevated the institute라이브 바카라 stature. Similarly, his visit as a swayamsevak (RSS volunteer) to Reshimbagh on the occasion of Sangh founder K B Hedgewar라이브 바카라 birth anniversary was very nice," Joshi said.

The RSS headquarters in Mahal area and Dr Hedgewar Smruti Mandir at Reshimbagh are among the hallowed institutions of the Sangh.

PM Modi became the second sitting PM to visit the RSS headquarters in Nagpur. Atal Bihari Vajpayee had visited it in 2000 during his third term as PM, an RSS official said. This is also PM Modi's third term in the top post.
