Cong: No names yet, final decision tomorrow

June 14, 2012 19:41

At 11 am tomorrow, the Congress will formally discuss names of its presidential candidates. So far, the Congress has only rejected the names of the candidates the Trinamool and Samajwadi Party threw up yesterday without actually giving out their choices.

After the meeting with Sonia Gandhi yesterday, Mamata Banerjee had named Pranab Mukheree and Hamid Ansari as the Congress candidates. But Congress spokesperson Janardan Dwivedi clarified today that no names have been finalised as yet and the final decision would be taken at tomorrow's UPA meet. Mamata Banerjee will be skipping that meet since the "UPA has already decided on names."

CNN IBN reveals that the Congress will add one other name -- Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar -- to its list.
