Rahul Good Enough to be PM, but Not in Race: Priyanka Gandhi
Rahul Gandhi is not in politics to become prime minister, his sister Priyanka Gandhi Vadra said in RaeBareli. Replying to a pointed question, she said Manmohan Singh is “extremely good” as prime minister and there is no question of change at the moment. Priyanka, who is on a five-day tour of Amethi and Rae Bareli to campaign for Congress candidates, also backed home minister P. Chidambaram, saying she felt “sad” about the attacks on him in the 2Gspectrum case when he has an “onerous and huge” responsibility towards the people of the country. “For Rahul, the post of party president or prime minister is not important. For him, his mission of development is more important,” Priyanka asserted. “You see the political career of Rahul Gandhi that whether he should be the party president or prime minister, but neither he nor we see it that way... he is more concerned about what he is doing (for the people),” she said. “I think my brother is good enough for it already but I don’t think that should be the central point of his political career and I think we have an extremely good prime minister. We are fortunate to have a person who is honest and works well and I don’t think this question (of replacing him) arises at the moment,” Priyanka told reporters. “He is more concerned about his work than worrying about how the election results would impact his reputation. It’s his work that matters. He is not concerned about his reputation. Only cowards don’t lead from the front,” she said. It is now clear that the corrupt cotarie that operates out of 10, Janpath, New Delhi has lost all hope on Dr. Manmohan Singh performing for them in the coming months as the 2G Spectrum Scam unravels and the list of accused lengthens with additions from the Congress Party. Hence the mouthpiece of the Janpath cotarie Mr. Digvijay Singh has declared that Mr. Rahul Gandhi is ready to take charge as Prime Minister of India now as if Dr. Manmohan Singh was some kind of regent in the Maino dynasty, waiting for Rahul to grow up. First of all Mr. Rahul Gandhi should not try to become the Prime Minister of India because of a legal bar arising from Italian law which made him a citizen upon birth (to the then Italian citizen mother in 1970). He has never renounced this inherited citizenship and that he has traveled on Italian passport all over Europe on a alias. Moreover, he has for the last two decades a medical history which disqualifies him to hold the post of Prime Minister. In fact the disabilities, both legal and medical that Mr. Rahul Gandhi suffers from, do not entitle him to even remain as a Member of Parliament. Let him therefore learn from the experience of his mother whose attempt to become the Prime Minister in 2004 was aborted when the President of India Dr. Abdul Kalaam wrote her a letter (which is still to be published) and which letter was read by two witnesses present when Ms Sonia Gandhi received that letter, namely, Mr. Natwar Singh and Dr. Manmohan Singh. It should now be perfectly clear to Ms Sonia Gandhi as well as her two children that there is no legal way by which any of them can ever become the Prime Minister of India”.
