Defence Minister Rajnath Singh dubbed AAP chief Arvind Kejriwal's remarks on PM Narendra Modi's "retirement" as "absurd and unfortunate". Rajnath said, "[Kejriwal] has just come out on bail, he has to go to jail again...and he's talking such nonsense." Kejriwal had said, "PM Modi...[will] cross the age of 75 next year and has decided to make Amit Shah the PM."
