Presidential polls: Crucial UPA meeting tomorrow

The Congress tonight appears to be zeroing in on the candidature of finance minister Pranab Mukherjee for the President's post.
The party's core group headed by Sonia Gandhi met at the residence of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and is believed to have decided to put forward his name at the meeting of UPA tomorrow. "No dark horse" is under consideration in Congress-UPA camp, remarked a top source. Though the names of Mukherjee and Vice President Hamid Ansari had come up during Congress President's discussion with Mamata Banerjee yesterday, the leadership is veering round the name of the Finance Minister. The UPA is meeting tomorrow, which is expected to formally endorse the name of Mukherjee as the alliance candidate.

This pranab is not a genius person. When indra dead and next to indra, rajiv came to PM post. At that time, he left congress and started new party. After rajiv death, he joined congress and now he is trying to catch president post. We will not allow a politician to be our president.
