Rahul a strong challenge to Modi: Amarinder Singh

Punjab, October 04: Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh said Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi was the right opponent of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. "Rahul Gandhi is a strong opponent who can challenge anyone. Not only is the leadership of the Congress but he is capable of leading the opposition in the 2019 elections. As time went on, he proved his power as a politician, He added.

His performance at California Universities is amazing. I have been saying for a long time now that the time has come for his elevation as Congress president, and I am sure it's going to happen soon now. The Congress itself has bright chances in the next Lok Sabha polls as there is palpable swing in the mood of the public in favour of the party

"Congress has good prospects in the next election. The party's positive attitude has increased. Participation in political parties in democracy is common. Congress is no exception. However,Things are not good in the country at the moment... the effects of GST, of demonetisation. Look at the recent elections - the student union elections in Rajasthan, Delhi or the Panjab University. It is all indicative of how things are changing. I think Congress has a real good chance everywhere. By the 2019 general election, certainly, we are very much in the run.
