Finance Minister P Chidambaram yet again parried questions on his becoming the Prime Minister saying he has no such aspirations and would like to do party work.


"I have no such expectations. I have no such aspiration and I believe that in the few years that remain to me, I want to do (a) few other things, like travel," he said when asked whom he would like to choose his Finance Minister after becoming the Prime Minister after 2014 general elections.


"The first part of the question, I reject it out of hand... Therefore, if I reject the first assumption out of hand, the second question does not arise. But I can certainly recommend you and many other names to the new Prime Minister," he said in a lighter vein. Answering questions at The Economist's India Summit here, Chidambaram said he would like to "remain a worker of the Congress party".
