It seems former Lok Sabha Speaker PA Sangma is all set for the President
race and so far he has already gathered a large support for him.
AIADMK
supremo and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa has given her nod for
Sangma. She also reportedly spoke to LK Advani, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief
N Chandrababu Naidu, Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Mulayam Singh Yadav, CPI-M
general secretary Prakash Karat, CPI leader AB Bardhan, Shironmani Akali Dal
(SAD) leader and Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal in favor to Sangma.
Earlier Odisha
Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik had also given his consent towards the tribal
leader.
The BJP is
also considering Sangma’s candidature. It is heard that top leaders of the
party have discussed PA Sangma's candidature for the President's post at a
meeting. The party will take a final decision soon.
However,
Sangma although interested to be the President said that he is keen to make a
tribal the next President.
Congress has
not so far decided a candidate for the first citizen post.
