New Delhi, October 26 Rahul Gandhi “is learning” and it is not right time to “judge” him, Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit said Saturday.
“He is learning … Let us not pre-judge him … start judging him if he is chosen prime minister when Congress comes to power (in 2014),” Dikshit told CNN-IBN channel in an interview.
She was responding to queries related to Rahul Gandhi’s remarks at an Indore rally Thursday that an intelligence officer told him that Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence was in touch with Muslim youths in riot-hit Muzaffarnagar.
Rahul Gandhi’s remarks make BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi angry to demand he either name the youths or apologise for degrading a community.
The chief minister said the Congress party can select its prime ministerial candidate when the party is in a position to form a government in 2014.
