Rahul prevented mother Sonia from becoming PM, claims Natwar

New Delhi, July 30 (IBNS): In a significant revelation, country's former foreign minister Natwar Singh has claimed that Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi did not allow his mother Sonia Gandhi from becoming the Indian Prime Minister in 2004.

Natwar Singh said Rahul Gandhi prevented the Congress supremo from taking up the top job in fear that she would be killed like his father and late Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi.

It was not her inner voice that prevented her, as she claimed at the time, to take up the PM's post but Rahul Gandhi said he would take every step possible to prevent his mother from becoming PM, Natwar Singh said in an exclusive interview to Karan Thapar on Headlines Today.

Manmohan Sing became the Prime Minister of the country in 2004 after the Congress came to power.

Natwar Singh made the remarks in reference to his forthcoming book "One Life is not enough: An autobiography".
