While Rahul Gandhi is being projected as the party’s face in Uttar Pradesh with even senior leaders from the state being kept out of his padayatra, the Congress on Wednesday clarified that he will not be the chief ministerial candidate.
“There is no thinking in the party to project him as chief ministerial candidate,” Congress general secretary Digvijay Singh told The Indian Express on Wednesday. Asked if the party will project any CM candidate at all, he said, “No, we will not.”
“He has a national image,” said Congress spokesperson Manish Tewari when asked if the Amethi MP could be the party’s CM candidate.
Congress sources said that while there is no convention in the party to project a CM candidate, it could not even be “thought of” in Rahul’s case.
“What if the party does not do well in UP elections? You will then put a question mark on his candidature in 2014 parliamentary elections,” said a senior Congress leader.
