Maharashtra Congress recently expressed its desire to make Rahul Gandhi the next Prime Minister of India.
On Sunday, May 21, State Congress chief Nana Patole said that they want to make Rahul Gandhi the next Prime Minister of India and asked the party workers to work for the same.
He made the statement while addressing a gathering of party workers in Solapur.
The convention was organised as part of the party’s preparations for the upcoming polls.
In his 33-minute speech, Patole stated: “I want to make Rahul Gandhi the Prime Minister of the country; hence I want you all to guarantee me to get elected more and more MPs… This fight is of the Congress, which has given the independence of the country and made it a superpower.”
He took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre over selling public sector enterprises, inflation and allegedly encouraging communal clashes.
“The way Congress soldiers fought and drove the British away, the time has come to save the country from those who are looting the country,” Patole remarked.
Patole also insisted that the Solapur Lok Sabha seat will remain with Congress and former union home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde is likely to contest it once again. He was responding to a claim made by Rohit Pawar, NCP MLA and Pawar’s grandnephew who had said that the Congress lost the seat twice and thus it should be given to NCP this time.
