Rahul Gandhi ‘best material’ to be prime minister: Veerappa Moily


Hyderabad, Nov 21 (PTI): As efforts to forge an anti-BJP front gather momentum, senior Congress leader M Veerappa Moily said on Wednesday his party's president Rahul Gandhi is the "best material" to become the prime minister.

Moily said TDP supremo and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu was "doing well" to unite opposition parties.

The former Karnataka chief minister, on the campaign trail in Telangana, also said the Congress was gaining ground at the national level, while the BJP-led NDA was losing partners. "I don't want to say that.... the question is that ultimately he (Rahul Gandhi) is the best material for the prime minister," he told PTI when asked whether the proposed anti-BJP coalition will project Rahul Gandhi as its leader.

Quoting Naidu as having said that the Congress is the "mentor" in the larger context of unity among opposition parties, Moily noted, "That's how things are shaping up".

The former Union minister said there will be a consolidation of opposition parties against the NDA at the national level. He asserted that the Congress was likely to win the elections in all the five states-- Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Telangana, Chhattisgarh and Mizoram--where the poll process was underway.

"Things are shaping up so well, evolving so well, the opposition unity is becoming a reality, and the Congress party is picking up in all the five states... (there's) likelihood of coming to power. Definitely, it adds up to the credibility of our leader Rahul Gandhi," he said.

Moily was dismissive about scepticism over the success of a broad-based opposition alliance with the possibility of partners squabbling on the issue of who would be the prime minister. "All that is not correct. Everybody is united against (PM) Narendra Modi, the present BJP regime. When it comes to unity against (PM) Narendra Modi and NDA, all parties are united and that is important," he said.

    Moily has to sing RaGa's praises for survival in the party . He has no other choice. In fact Congi chelas too have to follow the same protocol for being in the party. RaGa's track record is a reflects what sort of 'material' he is.

    Looks like for many uneducated bhakths this kind of usage of the term 'material' is new which is evident by the display of their ignorance in their comments. Refer any good dictionary and you'll learn that one of the usages of 'material' is ' A person of a specified quality or suitability.
    Example : ' He's really not Olympic material.'

    I am a staunch congress supporter and well wisher, but definitely Mr. Rahul Gandhi is not a suitable person for PM post, he is immature and lacks experience, political knowledge and tactics, for that matter general knowledge, he has ruined the congress party.
    There are far better candidates in Congress party who are smart, experienced, well educated and knowledgeable, who can lead the country.
    Hope common sense prevails.
