New Delhi, April 14: The demand to project AICC general secretary Rahul Gandhi as the prime ministerial candidate is gaining momentum within the ruling UPA with DMK supremo and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, Mr M. Karunanidhi, NCP chief and Union minister, Mr Sharad Pawar and HRD minister, Mr  Arjun Singh, responding positively to the idea emerging from the Congress Party.

In Chennai, Mr Karunanidhi on Monday welcomed the idea of projecting the young Gandhi as the UPA’s prime ministerial candidate in next year’s Lok Sabha polls. “I will be happy if he is made the prime ministerial candidate,” he told reporters in reply to a question. NCP chief Sharad Pawar said in Nagpur on Monday: “It is the prerogative of the Congress to choose Sonia Gandhi or Rahul Gandhi as its prime ministerial candidate. The NCP has no role in their selection process.” And in New Delhi, Mr Arjun Singh, known for his loyalty to the Gandhi-Nehru family, demanded the young Gandhi be projected as the prime ministerial candidate. He said this after playing the OBC reservation card. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
