Rahul Gandhi could probably be next PM: Pranab

MUMBAI: Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee today said Rahul Gandhi could "probably" become the next Prime Minister.

"Probably. After all, the people of India should decide. It is a democracy," he said in reply to a question on whether Gandhi would be the next Prime Minister of India.

"Of course," he said when asked whether he would be happy with the decision.

The questions were posed by film-maker Karan Johar to Mukherjee at an awards function here.
