New Delhi: Former Lok Sabha Speaker and NCP leader PA Sangma on Friday met BJP leader LK Advani at his residence in an apparent bid to solicit the support of the NDA for his candidature as President.
The meeting lasted around 20 minutes.
The NCP leader has maintained that no tribal has ever become the President of India. The former Speaker has met leaders from different parties, except the Congress and some of its allies, to win their support.
BJP is not likely to support Sangma as it is keen on fielding an NDA candidate for the top post. The party wants to put up a candidate against the Congress-led UPA to convey a message that it is not with the ruling party. (PTI)
