New Delhi: Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde on Thursday welcomed the idea of Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi being made the Prime Minister of India. "It is my desire that Rahul Gandhi becomes the PM, Shinde said.
Speaking on the controversial decision on the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh that has led to protests across the state, Shinde said that there was no possibility of a rollback on Cabinet's decision on Telangana. "I do not see any possibility of going back on Telangana issue," Shinde said.
However, he assured that justice will be done to the people in the state and suggestions will be heard and kept in mind. "A Group of Ministers (GoM) will listen to the stakeholders then it will go to the Cabinet and thereafter to the President," he said.
