TIL Desk/National/Noida/ Former BJP leader Yashwant Sinha threw his hat in the race for prime ministership on Monday when he declared himself as the “closest” person who could deliver on job creation, building roads, townships and industries.
Sinha, a former finance minister during the Atal Bihari Vajpayee-led previous NDA government, also said that Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari would not succeed Prime Minister Narendra Modi as he and BJP chief Amit Shah will “not retire” even if the BJP fell below the 200-seat mark in 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
The former BJP lawmaker said the problem in the country was non-creation of crores of jobs and millions of kilometres of roads. India needs a leader who can make agriculture profitable and set up irrigation projects, townships and industries, he said.
“We have to do a lot of work in this country… We will have to find somebody who is prepared to buy this theory and start doing it,” he said. Asked who the person could be, Sinha told “There is nobody in my mind.” Asked who was closest to deliver all this, he said, “The closest is me, myself, what I am,” leading to a laughter in the audience of the event hosted by the channel.
