Nitish wants BJP to clarify Sushma's remarks on Ansari

More Obama-Osama stories coming up. But first an update on the race for the presidential polls in India:

The BJP has denied a rift with its ally, Nitish Kumar, over who to back in the election for President of India, reports NDTV.com.

But sources close to Mr Kumar say that he has hardened his stand over the remarks of BJP leader Sushma Swaraj. Earlier this week, Swaraj said that the BJP will not support Hamid Ansari, currently vice-president of the country, because he lacks the stature to provoke political consensus as a candidate.
