Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad today said Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi has all the credentials for becoming the country's prime minister and would prove much better than 'communal' Narendra Modi.
"Kya kammi hain unme Pradhan Mantri banane me? (does he lack any quality to become Prime Minister?)... He has all the qualities for the high post," Prasad told reporters here.
"Has he instigated any communal riot or indulged in crime against any community?" the RJD chief asked rating Gandhi higher than the BJP's prime ministerial nominee, Modi.
Prasad, who has been rooting for a tie up with Congress in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections said he might be dubbed a 'sycophant' for praising Gandhi but it is a "fact" that Gandhi is "Prime Minister material".
On Yoga-guru Ramdev calling him 'Kans' for not supporting fellow backward caste leader Modi for the high post, Prasad said "Ramdev is going on the path of Asaram and will meet the same fate."
