Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay has backed Congress leader Rahul Gandhi as the INDIA bloc’s Prime Ministerial candidate, Tamil Nadu Congress Legislature Party leader Tharahai Cuthbert said on Monday. She rejected speculation of a rift between the Congress and its ally, the Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), over the prime ministerial race. Cuthbert said recent projections of Vijay as a future Prime Minister reflected the enthusiasm of TVK workers and were not the party leadership’s official position. She also stressed that the Congress was expanding independently in Tamil Nadu and remained an autonomous party, while maintaining its alliance with the TVK. (PC: India Today)
