Presidential Candidate P A Sangma

National Democratic Alliance Presidential candidate P A Sangma on Wednesday said he had no grudge against Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee for supporting his rival Pranab Mukherjee stating all parties have their own "compulsions and calculations".

Enthused by backing from 18 political parties, opposition Presidential Candidate P A Sangma on Sunday hoped to draw support from some more parties and said the July 19 polls could be as significant as the one held in 1969 when V V Giri defeated the Congress candidate.

How did the BJP welcome the NDA presidential candidate P A Sangma to the city on Tuesday? Believe it or not, by flouting BMC norms and pasting illegal hoardings. Asked why they hadn't bothered to take permission, party leaders said that they had not had 'the time'.

In the race to the Rashtrapati Bhawan, Naveen Patnaik's BJD has said it will back former Lok Sabha Speaker P A Sangma. The Orissa Chief Minister seems to have support from his Tamil Nadu counterpart. J Jayalalithaa is also believed to be backing Mr Sangma's bid for President.
