Bhopal, October 06: The Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi clarified on Wednesday that his prime responsibilities are Youth Congress and NSUI.
On being asked by the reporters in Bhopal, whether a youth will ever become the Prime Minister of the country, Gandhi said that Manmohan Singh is much more capable than him and he is doing his job in a best manner.
He further clarified that he is at present concentrating on getting more and more hardworking young people for the Youth Congress.
“70% of Indian population is comprised of youth and I want more and more young people to join Youth Congress,” he added.
Gandhi also underlined the need for party leaders to be cautious when airing views on different issues, saying a line has to be drawn so that the party’s prospects are not damaged.
“I would like to say one thing about discussions and group issues in Congress party. Our party is an open forum and to a certain degree, we allow discussions. The problem comes when the discussion damages the party’s prospects and that is where a line has to be drawn,” he said when his attention was drawn to different views aired by several Congress leaders on few issues recently.
