Samajwadi Party leader Mulayam Singh Yadav, on Thursday, took the Lok Sabha by surprise when he said he wants Narendra Modi to remain as the prime minister after the Lok Sabha election. Participating in the valedictory speeches in the House to mark the end of the 16th Lok Sabha, Yadav shared that he wishes that all members of the House would be re-elected, which meant a clear majority for the BJP again.

While praising Narendra Modi, Yadav said, “Nobody speaks anything untoward about you. Nobody makes any comments against you. My congratulations and felicitations to you. It is my wish that all members of the House are re-elected and return … We will not be able to form the government, so I want that you become PM again. You have taken everybody along. Whenever I met him for any work, he got it done immediately … The PM has tried to keep everybody happy.”
