BHOPAL: Congress general
secretary, Digvijay Singh on
Sunday said that Rahul Gandhi
was now a mature person with
sound political instincts, and can
become the Prime Minister. "I think it is time that Rahul can become the Prime Minister," Singh said, talking to
PTI. "Rahul is now 40 and he has been working for the
party for the last seven to eight years," Singh said. The scion of Gandhi family had the right qualities,
instincts and experience to take up the mantle of
the prime minister-ship now, Singh said. He rejected the contention that he himself was
doing the politics of minority appeasement. When
he was the chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, he
had taken action against both the SIMI as well as
the Bajrang Dal, Singh pointed out. "When chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan is
felicitated by Muslims, that is not called
appeasement, but when I went to Azamgarh, I was
opposed by the Ulema council on one hand and
RSS-BJP on the other." About another former Madhya Pradesh chief
minister, Uma Bharti, who recently returned to BJP,
Singh said it must not be forgotten that she once
maintained that she would not be `true to her
parents' if she went back to the party. Singh added that he had prophesied the day Uma
was expelled that she would return to BJP, as she
would not find shelter anywhere else.
