PM candidate, a fictional idea: Mamata

Kolkata: Trashing pre-poll surveys putting Narendra Modi ahead in the prime ministerial race, Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee today said the idea of a PM candidate is “fictional” as it is not backed by Constitution.

It is a communal party. So no question of supporting Congress, BJP and CPI(M).

We are fighting them daily.” Asked about Rahul Gandhi's maturity as a politician, she said, “I am a commoner. Some are born with a golden spoon.  

During election time they can be seen mingling with people and talking about poverty and empowerment. What will they know of poverty and struggle? People have already rejected Congress”.  

On whether she would agree to become the Prime Minister if the federal front comes to power, she expressed surprise, “Why only me? There are many other leaders who can be good leaders for the country.

People will decide the next Prime Minister.”
