Rubbishes Raut's claim, says the PM would lead India beyond 2029

- SUDHIR SURYAWANSHI & RAJESH KUMAR THAKUR @ Mumbai/New Delhi

MAHARASHTRA Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Monday rubbished speculation about Narendra Modi's successor, a day after the latter visited the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) headquarters in Nagpur. He added that Modi would continue to lead the country beyond 2029, when the next Lok Sabha polls are due.

Fadnavis was reacting to Uddhav Sena leader Sanjay Raut's statement earlier in the day that Modi's visit to the RSS HQ was to "announce his retirement" and discuss his succession plan.
