June 15, 2012 17:09

Pradeep Bhattacharya, president of the Bengal Congress, says it is a matter of pride that Pranab Mukherjee has been nominated.

While announcing his candidature Sonia Gandhi says Pranab Mukherjee has almost five decades of public service and a distinguished career which make him an ideal candidate for the post of President. Much bonhomie at the UPA meet. Photo ops begin.

TV reports say that APJ Kalam is unlikely to contest against Pranab Mukherjee. So the wind taken out of Mamata Banerjee's sail.
