NDA meet indecisive over supporting Kalam

June 15, 2012 15:10

In effect this meant that the NDA meet turned out to be indecisive over supporting APJ Kalam after Sharad Yadav opposed his candidature. In fact, there was no unanimity within the JD(U) itself over supporting Kalam.

JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar is in fact hosting Kalam who is in Patna today. Before the NDA meeting in Delhi began, NDA convenor Sharad Yadav, who is a leader of the JD(U), said about the names proposed by Mamata and Mulayam, including that of Dr Kalam: "There is no meaning of these names , we are not saying yes or no for these names; we will discuss and decide."

Both Mamata and Mulayam had proposed the former president's name as a candidate, apart from the PM and Somnath Chatterjee's names.
