The 39-year-old Congress scion also took exception to his being projected as the future Prime Minister, saying he supports incumbent Manmohan Singh whom he described as ‘most capable’.
"I feel the word 'Yuvraj' is insulting. India is a democratic country and this word has no meaning today," Gandhi said when asked for his comments on calling him 'Yuvraj'.
His political opponents, specially Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati, describes Gandhi as a 'Yuvraj' while attacking him.
The description of Gandhi as a ‘Yuvraj’ of common man by a Congress member E M Sudarsana Natchiappan also sparked off an uproar in the Rajya Sabha on April 21 with BJP objecting to the use of the term as a blot on democracy.
