Actor-politician Kamal Haasan Wednesday described as a "worthwhile dream" Congress president Rahul Gandhi's promise of minimum income for the poor but said implementing it would be very difficult.

Addressing reporters here after launching the Puducherry unit of his party Makkal Needhi Maiam, he also welcomed Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's foray into active politics.

"It is a great dream, nice dream. I would not say it is epiphany. But is a nice worthwhile dream. We'll pursue it. But to enact and actually bring it into force is very difficult. I hope he (Rahul) succeeds," Haasan said.

Addressing a 'Kisaan Abhaar Sammelan' in Raipur on Monday, Rahul Gandhi had promised Congress would ensure "minimum income guarantee" for every poor person if it comes to power at the Centre.

When asked about his opinion on Vadra being appointed Congress general secretary, Hassan said "Welcome sister."
