Nothing wrong in Rahul's remark that he is ready to be PM: NCP

May 08, 2018 16:40

The NCP today said there was nothing wrong in Congress president Rahul Gandhi's statement that he is ready to become the prime minister if his party wins the maximum number of seats in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.

The Nationalist Congress Party, which was part of the UPA government from 2004 to 2014, is expected to ally with the Congress again for the general elections next year. NCP national spokesman Nawab Malik said there was nothing to object to Gandhi's statement.

"If people decide to entrust the Congress with the job of ruling the country, he (Rahul Gandhi) will be the prime ministerial candidate," he said. -- PTI
