Congress president Sonia Gandhi has virtually made it clear that Manmohan Singh would continue to be the prime ministerial face of the party.
“He has led the UPA government with great distinction. He has many more years of service both to the party and to our country,” she said in her ‘letter to Congresspersons’ in the latest issue of party mouthpiece Congress Sandesh.
Ms Gandhi said, “He (Singh) has always been known for his wisdom and sagacity, for his humility and simplicity, for his quiet but firm resolve and his sobriety and dignity.”
Virtually endorsing Mr Singh as the PM candidate in the LS elections, she said, “We look forward to his continued leadership and his inspiration to the younger generation particularly.”
Soon after reports of the 76-year-old prime minister being admitted to AIIMS late last month for a heart surgery, with elections round the corner, speculation in media and political circles about who would be projected as the prime ministerial candidate of the party became rife.
