Raisina Hill being used as a 'dumping ground': Sangma

July 10, 2012 14:53

Sharpening his attack on UPA rival Pranab Mukherjee, Opposition-backed Presidential nominee P A Sangma today said Rashtrapati Bhavan was being used as a "dumping ground" for the "failed" former Finance Minister.

"The Raisina Hill is being used as a dumping ground for the failed Finance Minister," Sangma, who was here to mobilise support for his Presidential bid, told reporters.

Asked if he was confident of a victory, Sangma said, "There are no ifs. I will win. I have never lost an election in my life. My winning margin has always increased." Sangma appealed to Congress ally NCP and NDA constituent Shiv Sena, which has already declared support for Pranab Mukherjee, to back him. "I have come here to appeal to parties, specially NCP and Bal Thackeray to
support my candidature."
