Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], March 24 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Prakash Reddy on Tuesday slammed AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal's remarks as "ridiculous," accusing him of making baseless political predictions about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's tenure.

Reddy said Modi, now the longest-serving head of government, will continue as Prime Minister as long as his health permits, calling Kejriwal's comments politically motivated and harmful to democratic discourse in India's politics.

Speaking to ANI, Reddy said, "The statements are ridiculous. How can you predict this? Day before yesterday, he became the longest-serving head of government in the country and will continue to be the Prime Minister as long as his health cooperates... These statements are politically jealous ones and will demoralise Indian politics. Such politicians will not be accepted by the people in the future."

Reddy's remarks came after Kejriwal on Monday said that PM Modi might not be the Prime Minister by the end of 2026.

He said, "PM Narendra Modi might not be the Prime Minister by the end of 2026. He and Amit Shah are about to go, and their rule is about to end..."

"Everyone should read this book. The Modi government includes all the dishonest people in its party and puts all the honest ones in jail. The way they (BJP) win the election by misusing the Election Commission is not good for the country," he said while speaking to reporters.
