Congress party not to declare Rahul Gandhi as its Prime Ministerial candidate in the Lok Sabha elections, as hinted from senior party leader Digvijaya Singh, today while dismissing suggestions that BJP's projection of Narendra Modi is a challenge to it.
Moreover, he also maintained silence whether Prime Minister Manmohan Singh could be a candidate for the top post in case of another party win in next year's elections.
"We do not have a presidential form of government. Congress party does not declare PM or CM candidates before elections... Even in the Karnataka Assembly elections, we had not declared any CM candidate," Singh said.
He was replying to questions why Congress was diffident about projecting Rahul Gandhi, why it should not project him and who is the PM candidate of Congress.
