Jinnah didn't want to become PM of India. He was offered the position by Lord Mountbatten after consultation with Gandhi, with Nehru being present in the discussion, you know Nehru couldn't go against Gandhi.Nehru wanted it, he would not let Jinnah become the first PM. Neither was Jinnah willing to let go.
That wasn't the issue. Jinnah didn't want to become PM of India, he wanted a new country and he didn't budge on that.
Moreover, this Indian version of Jinnah's power drive is nullified since Jinnah knew he would die from his terminal illness - TB. Even when Pakistan was made, Jinnah didn't become PM, but gave that position to Liaqat Ali Khan.
Your statements really have no basis in fact.
