"REAL" PM IN WAITING

Eventhough Advani was the official PM in waiting designate, it is Rahul Gandhi who is the "real" PM in wait. My take is that he'll focus all his energies on UP, Gujarat, Bihar & West Bengal elections till 2011 whereafter he'll accept a cabinet post and by the 2014 LS e lections he'll be announced as the Prime ministerial candidate. If for some reason ( health or otherwise ) Manmohan Singh is unable to continue till 2011, some stopgap arrangement in the form of Pranab Mukherji of A.K Antony may be made fo r the intervening period.
