Arjun Singh: “Rahul can be projected as PM candidate”
Arjun Singh the senior leader of Congress has said on Monday that we saw no wrong in projecting Rahul Gandhi as the Prime Ministerial candidate in the next Lok Sabha elections, saying that the young leader has all the qualities of his father.
“Why not,” he shot back in an interview when asked whether a young leader should be projected for the top job as like it happened in 1984 when Rajiv Gandhi took over as the youngest Prime Minister after the assassination of Indira Gandhi.
Arjun Singh said, “Rahul has all the qualities of his father. He is making sincere efforts in acquiring the information & knowledge that is required”.
On the issue of UPA contesting the election collectively, Arjun Singh said it is a suggestion (by Pawar). UPA will decide whether or not it is feasible.
On whether Congress should fight the next elections in a coalition or should fight it on its own to regain its lost ground, he avoided a direct answer.
Singh said, “This question you should put to others. I am not competent enough to answer that”.
