Prime minister Manmohan Singh said that AICC general secretary Rahul Gandhi has "all the qualities to be a good prime minister".

Singh said someday power must pass on to young people and that was the trend throughout the world.

"Rahul has all the qualities to be a good prime minister," he told a press conference here when asked for his comments about Priyanka Gandhi speaking about the possibility of her brother becoming the prime minister "one day".

To another question, he said he was the "declared candidate" of the Congress for the post of prime minister.
