Tamil Nadu wishes to see Rahul Gandhi as PM: DMK chief Stalin

January 20, 2019 17:06

Days after M K Stalin created ripples within Opposition circles by proposing Congress chief Rahul Gandhi as a prime ministerial candidate for 2019, the DMK chief Sunday clarified that he was talking about the aspirations of people of Tamil Nadu.

I had said this about Rahul Gandhi in Chennai, what was wrong in it? It is the wish and aspiration of the people in Tamil Nadu. But in West Bengal, they have decided to finalise this after the election. It is their wish, he was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.

Addressing an event in Chennai in December to unveil the statue of his father, K Karunanidhi, Stalin had proposed the candidature of Rahul Gandhi from Tamil Nadu as the new prime minister. Asking Rahul to give the nation good governance and defeat the fascist NDA government, Stalin appealed to all Opposition parties to strengthen the hands of the Congress president and save the nation.
