July 02, 2012 15:39

Pranab Mukherjee is likely to meet Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray in Mumbai on July 13 to thank him for backing his candidature, Sena sources said here today.

"There is a strong possibility of the two leaders meeting", a senior Sena leader said. Thackeray recently broke ranks with the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance on the Presidential issue, saying his party would vote for Mukherjee in the Presidential poll slated on July 19.

Having declared his party's support for Mukherjee in the Presidential poll, Thackeray recently described him as 'super power' in the UPA government and said the Opposition should be happy that with his election the government will become a 'lame duck'.
