It was a press conference intended to announce his own farewell," said Jaitley, the leader of opposition in Rajya Sabha. "As a principal opposition party, we wish him all the best... but except for announcing that he was unavailable for future leadership, the rest of the press conference was intended to be a formality, and turned out to be a farce," he said.

I want to say that Modi in his tenure has made Gujarat a model state," said Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Rajnath Singh. "Such a comment on him (Modi) is laughable." He added, "Whatever happened in 2002 is sad, but when the SIT (Special Investigation Team) and court have given him a clean chit, such a statement is unfortunate."
