'I am ready to be the next PM', says Rahul Gandhi
'I am ready to be the next PM', says Congress President Rahul Gandhi When asked if he can be the Prime Minister of India, Congress president Rahul Gandhi said on Tuesday that he is ready to become the prime minister if his party emerges as the “biggest” party in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls. “Well, it depends....it depends on how well the Congress does in the election....I mean if it emerges as the biggest party, yes,” Gandhi said. Gandhi said he is “pretty confident” that Narendra Modi would not be the next prime minister. If the Congress acts as a “platform” (with other parties in a coalition), the BJP does not stand a chance of winning the election, he said. “It is highly unlikely that the BJP will form the next government, and the second part is that it is close to impossible that Modi will be the next prime minister,” Gandhi said. Gandhi asserted that the Congress would win the Assembly polls in Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan. The statements were made at the inauguration of ‘Samruddha Bharat Foundation’, which is a platform to propagate liberal, secular and republican values across the country. -PTC News
