Ready to accept PM post if Cong wins LS polls: Rahul

February 07, 2014 22:31

Rahul Gandhi today said he was ready to accept the PM's post if the Congress MPs elect him in the event of the party and its allies getting a majority in the forthcoming Lok Sabha elections.

Gandhi also said he would not like to be projected as the Congress' prime ministerial candidate as it would be unconstitutional. The party usually doesn't announce its PM nominee ahead of the elections.

The Congress vice-president expressed these views during an interaction with a select group of people during his visit to Jharkhand today.
