Even when the All India Congress Committee yet to decide whether Rahul will lead the party in next lS elections as prime ministerial candidate or not, the Congressmen here were already upbeat with the move hoping that the party’s campaign for United Progressive Alliance (UPA) hat-trick at the Centre would definitely get a new boost.
“Rahul is our leader in the party but if he will accept to shoulder the responsibility of leading the UPA-III Government at the Centre now, the party is definitely going to gain out of it as the workers will work with double energy to see him as the Prime Minister,” claimed senior Congress leader Deepak Singh, who is presently nursing the party in Rae Bareli and Amethi under the guidance of Priyanka Gandhi. He claimed that Rahul had full support of the party as well as all other constituents of the UPA-II so he must now come forward and lead the party in the coming lS elections as prime ministerial candidate.
