Kolkata : Ridiculing talk of Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi being projected as prime ministerial candidate, the Samajwadi Party Wednesday expressed doubts over the 42-year-old Gandhi scion’s ability to lead the nation.
“Whoever understands Indian politics will say that Rahul Gandhi does not seem to have the qualities to lead the country in view of the challenges it is facing,” Samajawadi Party general secretary Mohan Singh told mediapersons here.
Singh said that in the last two years, Rahul Gandhi had kept mum in the Lok Sabha, even while it was discussing critical issues facing the nation.
Singh said: “During the last two years, we did not get the chance to have Rahul Gandhi’s analysis on any critical issue facing the nation in parliament. When one does not hear him speak, how can one say the country will be secure in his hands?”
