Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Friday said Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi has "outstanding credentialas" to be nominated the UPA's prime ministerial candidate.
The prime minister said: "I have indicated in opening remarks that I do not intend to be prime ministerial candidate if the UPA were to come to power after the general elections.
