Congress party having finally cornered Mamata, quietly
announced the name of
Sri Pranab Mukherjee as UPA’s nominee for Presidential
election much against the wishes of TMC supreme who has already swallowed her
words of pulling out of UPA on patrol price rise; it remains now to be seen if
she does the U turn on Pranab- being a Bengali Bhadralok; while knowing Kalam
may not enter the fray at this juncture; will she swing towards Purno Sangma
would depend much on Samajwadi Party. NDA and Samajwadi Party are waiting to
cut a reciprocal deal with Congress/UPA; in all likely hood Congress would
prefer to cut a deal with Samajwadi Party eyeing an alliance for next Loksabha
election 2014 or earlier. In such a scenario NDA may also be inclined for a
presidential contest by backing Purno Sangma; if nothing else at least to
please prospective allies in the east and south. It’s advantage Sangma for the
moment.
