Lucknow: Lauding Rahul Gandhi's efforts to reach out to the people in Uttar Pradesh, Union minister Beni Prasad Verma on Saturday said the Congress leader is the future Prime Minister of the country.
Talking to reporters, he claimed massive response to Rahul's recent tour to the eastern Uttar Pradesh. The Union Steel minister said Rahul was making efforts to reach out to the people in all districts of Uttar Pradesh before the election.
"The Congress will form the next government in the state," he said describing Rahul as the future Prime Minister of the country.
Verma also praised Manmohan Singh saying he is an honest person. Terming Opposition parties' protest against the FDI in retail as "unnecessary", he said the move would benefit farmers.
"There is no threat to the retail market in the country which is very huge. The FDI is being opposed unnecessarily," Verma said.
The minister said the FDI would not be an issue during the UP Assembly election. "The focus will be on Mayawati government's shortcomings and the quota for Muslims." Verma favoured quota within quota for Muslims and said this was justified.
