“I want to use this opportunity to air rumours that as long as people are with me, and PM Modi and Home Minister Shah are supporting me, no one in the state will take my place,” he said, adding that he will come out of all legal battles as long as Shah is backing.
He said, “I am ready to face 100 legal matters. I am not worried at all because nobody other than Modi and Shah has faith in me. That will not be shaken by anyone,” he said, IANS reported.
