Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Sunday said becoming a prime minister was not a priority before her.
She accused the Bharatiya Janata Party of raking up the issue of her foreign origin as the party-led government at the Centre had 'totally failed'.
"For me, that is not a priority. Let us see when the time comes," she said in an interview to NDTV when asked why the Congress was not coming forward on the issue of leadership of anti-BJP alliance.
To a query whether she felt that her being born in Italy was a liability, the Congress chief said it might work adversely with some voters. "But I have never felt that I am a foreigner. I am an Indian absolutely."
