Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Saturday said Rahul Gandhi could "probably" become the next prime minister.

"Probably. After all, the people of India should decide. It is a democracy," he said in reply to a question on whether Gandhi would be the next Prime Minister of India.

"Of course," he said when asked whether he would be happy with the decision.

The questions were posed by filmmaker Karan Johar to Mukherjee at an awards function in Mumbai.
