Samajwadi Party leader Azam Khan said if Narendra Modi could become prime minister, so could he. "I have all the qualities of becoming prime minister," he said at a function in Saharanpur. "I can make tea, play the drum, cook food and I wear proper clothes. Besides, I am not all that bad looking, nor am I corrupt." Khan went on to say that if he became PM, "I assure you, I will deposit Rs 20 lakh in the accounts of 130 crore people within six months. I am not like those who don't keep their promises". "At a time when tension rages at the border and our poor are going hungry, he (Modi) sends shawls to Pakistan and gets in return boxes of mangoes," Khan said. "The king is happy, so is Pakistan. He will take advantage of this in the 2017 polls (in UP)."
