Rahul for PM: Akhilesh says not alliance opinion

Lucknow, December 18

Samajwadi Party president Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday expressed his disagreement over DMK chief MK Stalin’s suggestion of naming Congress president Rahul Gandhi for the post of Prime Minister after the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

“People are unhappy with the BJP. Telangana CM, Mamata ji, Sharad Pawar ji had attempted to bring together all leaders to form an alliance. If someone is giving his opinion, it isn't necessary that the alliance is of the same opinion,” the former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister said.

He also hit out at Kamal Nath for his statement against North Indians. He said, “Often one hears the same from Maharashtra. Why have North Indians come here? Why have they taken up jobs here? Same from Delhi and now from MP as well. What if North Indians decide who will form the government at the Centre?” — TNS
