"Rahul Gandhi has realised that he will not become the Prime Minister as BJP-led NDA will form the government after the next elections," BJP spokesperson Shahnawaz Hussain told reporters in reply to a question.
Gandhi had said yesterday that becoming Prime Minister is not his priority and he is interested in long-term politics and building the party organisation.
BJP also took on Gandhi on his comments that he is not interested in marriage as that will make him a status quoist and he may want to promote his children.
The BJP leader said he himself is married with two children.

Asked if he would advise Gandhi to get married, Hussain shot back "do I run a marriage bureau that I will suggest such things.... I can give suggestions about running the country."
The opposition party alleged Gandhi has been active for the last ten years and his party has been in power for two terms so he is answerable for the present problems.
