Becoming PM not a priority: Sonia

PTI, New Delhi
The Congress Party president Sonia Gandhi yesterday said becoming a Prime Minister was not a priority before her and accused BJP of raking up the issue of her foreign origin as the party-led government at the Centre had "totally failed".

"For me, that is not a priority. Let us see when the time comes," she said in an interview to NDTV when asked why the Congress was not coming forward on the issue of leadership of anti-BJP alliance.

To a query whether she felt that her being born in Italy was a liability, the Congress president said it might work adversely with some voters but "I have never felt that I am a foreigner. I am an Indian absolutely."
