Congress said on Saturday that Manmohan Singh will be the Prime Minister now and Rahul Gandhi its future PM.
This election Manmohan Singh is our prime ministerial candidate, AICC General Secretary Janardan Dwivedi told reporters in New Delhi.
The PM’s chair is Rahul Gandhi’s future as he is the future leader of the party, Dwivedi said.
He also said there were three decisive factors for party’s good performance - leadership of the government by the Prime Minister, leadership of UPA by Sonia Gandhi and leadership of campaign by Rahul.
Dwivedi’s remarks come at a time when UPA appeared all set to return to power.
On the issue of alliances, Dwivedi said Left parties also have very little options and will also introspect in the post election scenario.
“We had not broken the relationship, they had withdrawn support,” he said.
The Left parties had withdrawn support to the Congress-led UPA government following differences over the Indo-US nuclear deal.

We voted for Manmohan Singh and not for Rahul Gandhi. But sadly, now that the Congress has won, they are projecting Rahul as the kin-inwaiting. This in unfair. The youth may like Raful but we don’t want him as our PM! No way. Not now. It’s Manmohan who has stabilised the economy. Let him stay. Let his age and ill health not become excuses for him to make way for Rahul Gandhi. Pls don’t let him just warm the chair for the golden boy!.
