NEW DELHI: Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Tuesday exuded confidence that the way things look like in the country right now, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi will be the next prime minister of the country.
“The way things are looking in the country right now, he (Rahul Gandhi) will hopefully be the Prime Minister after 2019 elections,” the Punjab CM said. He also said that the Congress is completely united and is firmly behind him all through the way.
Singh had earlier also backed Rahul as the prime ministerial candidate of a joint opposition alliance in the 2019 elections. He has been saying that Rahul is fully competent to lead the country and would prove to be a successful prime minister.
Opposition parties led by Congress are putting in all efforts to stitch an alliance ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections to defeat the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). While Congress has been saying that it would strive to ensure that Rahul Gandhi becomes the PM, NCP chief Sharad Pawar had recently said that any anti-BJP party with maximum seats can stake claim for the post of Prime Minister.
