Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut told reporters in Mumbai yesterday, "Amit Shah called up Uddhavji after the NDAs presidential candidate was decided by the BJPs parliamentary board meeting. Shah sought the Sena's support for Ram Nath Kovind.
We had suggested two names for the post. One was of (RSS chief)
Mohan Bhagwat. If they (BJP) had a problem with that, we wanted (eminent
agriculturist) M S Swaminathan. But since they have chosen some other
name, the party will convey to the BJP our decision soon.
