Kicking off his two-week US tour with an address to students at University of California's Berkeley, Rahul Gandhi indicated today that he is open to being the Congress's Prime Ministerial candidate for the 2019 national election. Asked by the moderator if he was ready to be the prime ministerial candidate of the Congress party, Mr Gandhi said, "I am absolutely ready to do that....We have an organisational party that decides that and that process is currently ongoing...That decision is something the Congress party should make."
