Rahul Gandhi cannot be the PM candidate, says BSP

"He looks more like his foreigner mother, than father," said BSP

A major ‘crack’ has erupted in Opposition’s attempt to form an alliance against government ahead of 2019 Lok Sabha elections as BSP on Tuesday pressed for Mayawati’s name as Prime Ministerial candidate, disdaining Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s name.

In a statement issued by BSP coordinators Veer Singh and Jai Prakash said that Mayawati is the perfect candidate for PM role. “For strong PM, only Mayawati is the apt candidate, who can give competition to Modi; On the other hand Rahul Gandhi cannot become PM since he has a foreigner mother and the same reflects in his persona”.

They further said that “Rahul looks more like his mother than father Rajeev Gandhi,” therefore Mayawati is the ideal candidate for she can relate to people better and people can relate to her.

From where is Mayawati likely to contest election?

As per BSP coordinators, Mayawati is likely to contest 2019 election from either Bijnor or Ambedkarnagar seats in Uttar Pradesh. BSP wants that Mayawati should come forward as a Dalit leader of the entire nation and should contest the election for the PM post.
