Mumbai Targeting AICC general secretary Rahul Gandhi, Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray said the Congress leader has no prospects of becoming Prime Minister of the country.

"Never. Its not possible," Thackeray said in the second part of his interview to his party mouthpiece 'Saamna', when he was asked whether the Congress scion will become the PM.

Thackeray said, he does not see leadership qualities in today's Congress leaders. "The era of Gandhi, Nehru, Govind Vallabh Pant is gone. Now, there is nobody," he said.

Hitting out at the Union government for the 4.5 per cent minority sub-quota within 27 per cent reservation, Thackeray said the country will have to pay a very heavy price for this decision. "Mark my words. It is preparation for the country's second partition," he said.

Blaming Ahmed Patel, AICC president Sonia Gandhi's political secretary, Thackeray said, "He is the man responsible for the chaos."

Likening Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to a "wax figure", Thackeray criticised him for "turning a deaf ear" to the demand for making Belgaum a union territory till the Maharashtra-Karnataka boundary dispute is settled by the Supreme Court.

"He heard the issue during a meeting with the all-party delegation from the state for only three minutes.

What kind of leadership is this? There is no study of the issue," he said.

dynasty vs democracy by absingh on 10 Jan 2012

Yes ,Rahul should not be ever PM ofIndia . A same that congress slaves of the dynasty and purchased media sources are projecting him as future PM ,his only qualification he is from Nehru family. Otherwise there are millions of Indians hundred time better than him to be PM.What is capability - blocking projects in Orissa in name tribal gimmicks - spending a few nights in village huts along with his slaves of his party again a pure gimmick- flying in chartered plane from Patna some time back to Gorakhpur to catch a train there to travel as an ordinary man just to befool the ordinary Indians. His Mother 'sacrificed' the PM post and later converted Sardar Jee into the weekest PM . Nehru family has given only bad names to this country - a vast Indian teritorry fell into China's in Nehru time, crimminal and manipulative politics and emergency crept into the country when Indira Gandhi entered in Indian plitical field , Rajiv is known for Bofor and the cover up.Rahul is worst of all-discard

Then who does.? He does not have prospects because he can not speak marathi & you can't speak English?.. R.I.P you young man, politics is not your subject anymore. Live in peace remaining (a little)part of your life without politics.

Itallian Dynasty by The Night Rider on 09 Jan 2012

Dear Satyanaryana, There is no reason for such blind hate for any particular person. If the people of India will vote for Congress, and if teh Parliamentary Part Body elects him to be the leader, we have to accept him. I believe HE is much better than many of our Indian bred politicians like Thaceray, Maya, Jaya, Karunanidhi, Pawar,

hmmm! why ? by concerned on 10 Jan 2012

Why is he in any way better ? Cos he's whiter ? You people are mentally enslaved to white-skinned crooks. He is no better.

dynastic democracy by sanu on 10 Jan 2012

why you naming other leaders like maya etc.you do not have good leaders in your mind.why dynastic democracy enforced on India.In India you can win by deciding people.tell all other people like dalit ,obi and minorities that we giving quota to them .they will happily vote for congress but they do not know who will be benefitted from these quotas.Congress know that upper caste hindus are very minor vote bank so they don't care all the people of India.so they adopt divide and rule policy.They are worst than british .apart from that what we say. God bless India.
