NEW DELHI: Independent MP from Purnia, Pappu Yadav, has claimed that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi declined the post of Prime Minister during the second stint of UPA government, allowing Manmohan Singh to continue in the role.This striking revelation by Yadav came in an exclusive interview with ANI, where he said, “Rahul Gandhi rejected the post of Prime Minister, which was offered by former PM Manmohan Singh himself.Praising Rahul Gandhi, he added, “A genius boy from Harvard University, who walks 10,000 kilometres and turns down the role of Prime Minister, believes in the principle of justice.” Yadav said such qualities clearly dismantle the “Pappu” tag often associated with the Congress MP and leader of opposition in Lok Sabha.Taking a sharp dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Purnia MP said, “People now know that PM Modi doesn’t have a ’56-inch chest’ but a ‘5-inch chest’. The world is mocking us, saying they’ve never seen such a weak Prime Minister.”He added, “Ukraine stood up to global powers, Iran challenges the world for its self-respect, but we keep compromising. What kind of leadership is this?”
