Congress Rahul Gandhi Sonia Gandhi

Punjab chief minister, Amarinder Singh today said at an event that AICC Vice President has all qualities and potential to become the prime minister of India. He also said that Rahul Gandhi has always been a leader with quick decision taking abilities and it is time that a generational change takes place at the top of Congress leadership and Rahul Gandhi is given the command.

Giving an example of 70% youth of the country, he said that leadership skills of a young leader like Rahul Gandhi will shape the future of country. He also lashed out at the opposition for a ‘deliberate’ attempt to undermine the image of Rahul Gandhi by calling him names and making fun of his abilities and initiatives.

This statement by Amarinder Singh comes at a time when Sonia Gandhi is leading the campaign to field a president candidate against the candidate of BJP. Rahul Gandhi has not been spotted actively to try and revive the fortunes of Congress after a series of losses in various parts of the country. In MCD elections though, Congress could see something positive, when the vote share of the party increased as compared to 2015 assembly elections.
