The Congress has said that Rahul Gandhi may not like being projected as the future Prime Minister but the people of the country view him as one. Although Congress President Sonia Gandhi had refused to accept the top office and Rahul Gandhi has expressed his reservations about being projected as the future prime minister,the people of the country view him as one, party General Secretary Digvijay Singh told reporters here yesterday. Claiming that the Gandhi scions visits to houses of the poor and downtrodden and his sharing the problems of Dalits had earned the Congress the support of the scheduled castes,Singh said it was evident in the mass support shown to the party at its convention in Mau. It has been proved once again that Congress is the only party truly committed to the uplift of the poor,Singh,who is also in-charge of the partys affairs in Uttar Pradesh,said. Exuding confidence that support for the party has grown among all sections of society,he said Congress would contest the coming assembly elections in UP alone and form a government on its own. He also announced that the party would soon launch an agitation on issues like prevailing corruption in NREGS and problems of the poor and farmers. To a question Singh advised Samajwadi Party President Mulayam Singh Yadav not to waste his time worrying about the Congress and take good care of his own party.
