New Delhi: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Saturday said that AICC general secretary Rahul Gandhi is always welcome in the government.
The statement comes after Congress’ Yuvraaj’ Rahul Gandhi last month had announced that he was ready to play a more active role in the party and the government. Congress leaders have been urging Rahul Gandhi to move to the party`s mainstream amid growing clamour for projecting him as prime ministerial candidate in the next Lok Sabha polls, likely in 2014. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had himself urged Rahul, a number of times, to join the government.
