Analysing the possibility of Chidambaram rising to the top post, the “Time” magazine's article has noted that Rahul's interest in the top job is uncertain and his “lack of political experience” could be a “liability” if the Congress finds itself heading another unstable coalition.
“The Economist,” a London-based newsmagazine, too, had projected Chidambaram as the most suitable leader to take the office of the prime minister after 2014, particularly because his only challenger and “fiercest rival” Pranab Mukherjee had now taken over as President.
