Nobody can stop Rahul Gandhi from becoming Prime Minister: Siddaramaiah

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Saturday claimed that Congress chief Rahul Gandhi will be the next Prime Minister and nobody can stop that from happening.

"Nobody can stop Rahul Gandhi from becoming the Prime Minister of the country in 2019," Siddaramaiah exclaimed while speaking at the 84th Congress Plenary Session in Delhi earlier today.

The Chief Minister also expressed confidence in winning the upcoming Karnataka Assembly polls.

"I am confident that under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi we will come to power in Karnataka with a thumping majority. It will be a big pull and stepping stone for the upcoming elections," he noted.
