Manmohan was choice in 1999 too, says Sonia

Congress President Sonia Gandhi has said that she never wanted to become the prime minister. Even in 1999, when the Congress came close to forming a government, she told Manmohan Singh that he would be the prime minister, the Congress chief has said in an interview to a private television channel.

She also put an end to speculation about Rahul's entry into the government saying this would not happen anytime soon.
