Jd U Supports Pranab

Soon after being elected as the 13th President of India, Pranab Mukherjee phoned Janata Dal (United) leader Sharad Yadav and thanked him for his party's support to him in the election.

Nitish Kumar, the chief minister of Bihar, has made good on his warning to his political spouse, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). His party today said that it will not back PA Sangma for president, even though the BJP has endorsed him as its candidate.

Sources have told NDTV that the Janata Dal(United), a key constituent of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), favours Mr Mukherjee as the next incumbent at Rashtrapati Bhavan.
