New Delhi: Congress President Sonia Gandhi's remarks on the party's prime ministerial candidate generated speculation tonight on whether her son and party Vice President Rahul Gandhi would be named for the top job.


“We have not made any statement. Well, the party has to decide it. The party will decide at the opportune time,” she told reporters when asked whether Rahul would be named the party's PM candidate in the Lok Sabha polls.

“I think people need not worry. At the opportune time, the name of the PM candidate...the name of him will be announced,” Gandhi said.

Her word “him” triggered speculation whether she was referring to Rahul.

Another theory doing the rounds was that it signified that it would be a male candidate and not a woman.
