Addressing a rally in Jhanjharpur, the BJP leader warned that a victory of the INDIA bloc, “even by mistake”, will lead to a scramble among top leaders of the alliance for the prime minister’s post. Shah claimed that leaders like M K Stalin, Sharad Pawar, Lalu Prasad and Mamata Banerjee may agree to a year each of premiership, by turns, and “Rahul baba will have to settle for whatever is left of the tenure”.
