Saswat Panigrahi
Rahul Gandhi continues to fight shy of donning the crown which
fawning courtiers around him believe belongs to the Congress vice president.
In an interaction with
select party MPs and journalists, the 42-year-old Nehru-Gandhi family scion
said asking him whether he wants to be Prime Minister is a ‘wrong question’.
Given the fact that the
chances of Congress coming to power after the next general election look bleak,
Rahul Gandhi knows well that he can’t occupy the country’s top seat.
But his statement is an
attempt to grab the limelight amid the rising nationwide popularity of BJP’s
star performer and Gujarat’s Chief Minister Narendra Modi.
The Congress Chintan Shivir
at Jaipur in January was an attempt to build a political foundation for the
42-year-old leader. He was formally annointed as vice president, the official
number-two of the party.
