Sonia Gandhi Should Have Opted Sharad Pawar Over Manmohan Singh: Ramdas Athawale

Rajya Sabha Member Ramdas Athawale said if Kamala Harris could become the US Vice-President, then Sonia Gandhi could have also become PM of India after the 2004 elections. Ramdas added that Sonia was unwilling to hold the position, but instead of appointing Manmohan Singh for the post, she should have appointed Sharad Pawar. Further, he stated if Pawar was the PM, then the position of Congress would have been strengthened.
