 "Oppn has 'waiting list' of 2 dozen PM candidates without vacancy: Naqvi")
In a swipe at the Opposition, senior BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Saturday said it has already prepared a "waiting list of two dozen prime ministerial candidates" without even a vacancy for the post.
Addressing a program in Uttar Pradesh's Rampur, Naqvi said those suffering from the "political disease of Modi phobia" will vanish soon.
"Posturing and pretence" of "pessimist political players" can never defeat the hard work and honesty of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he asserted.
The Opposition has already prepared a "waiting list of two dozen prime ministerial candidates", he said, taking a dig at Opposition parties.
This is called "vanity without vacancy", the former Union minister added.
Naqvi said that despite all the "political intolerance and fake and fabricated allegations", Prime Minister Modi is working tirelessly and diligently with the commitment to "inclusive empowerment", Naqvi said.
