Nagercoil: DMK President M K Stalin on Wednesday said that the Congress chief will assume the best office within a few weeks. Offering the stage to Rahul Gandhi at a fabulous UPA survey rally here, Stalin announced that the coming Lok Sabha election was a war to oust Prime Minister Narendra Modi and asserted the UPA would repeat its 2004 accomplishment by winning every one of the 40 seats.

"Within a few weeks, Rahul Gandhi will turn into the Prime Minister. In your (Gandhi's) hands the nation will be safe we believe," the DMK chief said.  Stalin had proposed Rahul Gandhi as the Prime Ministerial candidate of the opposition alliance in Chennai in December a year ago where Karunanidhi's statue was revealed.

However, the proposition had drawn a tepid reaction from several other opposition leaders who were not enthusiastic about naming Prime Minister Candidate before the surveys itself.  The DMK leader said he had made the pitch for Gandhi as PM following in the strides of his father late M Karunanidhi who had completely bolstered the Congress chief' grandmother Indira Gandhi's arrival as Prime Minister in 1980.

"Power is going to come to you soon, it will be for poor people, it ought to be for the normal man and we are fully confident, we are supporting you since you are Rahul Gandhi and not Narendra Modi," Stalin said.  Asserting that the nation had not flourished in the NDA rule, he sarcastically said it was not so about the Prime Minister who wore fancy designer wear every day.

Youngsters trusted that Modi's rule would bring employment, yet nothing had been finished. On the black money front as well, nothing has been done, he claimed. While the government promised corruption-free government, the Rafale deal uncovered it, he asserted.
