He said that there was, however, nothing wrong in nurturing such an ambition.
"Rahul Gandhi has spoken about his Prime Ministerial ambitions. But I think he will have to wait for 10 to 15 years. There is nothing wrong with having an ambition to become Prime Minister. However, it is too early to express such an ambition," said Athawale.
The Union Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment claimed that the National Democratic Alliance under PM Narendra Modi would once again come to power in 2019.
He added that the BJP would win Karnataka with a clear majority as communities like the Lingayats, OBCs etc were supporting the party.
