GOANEWS DESK, PANAJI | 10 July 2012 22:41 IST
P A Sangma, NDA-sponsored candidate for the post of President of India, has claimed support of 28 out of 40 members of Goa Assembly.
“The BJP (21), the MGP (3) and all independents except one (4) has pledged their support to me”, he told the media persons today.
He was in Goa, along with BJP spokesperson Prakash Jawadekar, for the campaign.
“I am moving all over the country also to garner support of those who have still not made up their mind”, said Sangma.
The election however is above party lines due to which, he said, both he as well as UPA-supported candidate Pranab Mukherjee has resigned from their respective parties.
“If Pranab was a failure as the finance minister of the country, how could he be the fit candidate to become the President of India”, asked Jawadekar while speaking to the media.
Purno Sangma is a Christian tribal from Meghalaya....and looks at the divide ! He is backed by the BJP ,called a communal party by congress and opposed by the congress which claims to be a secular party !last time also ,when Vajpayee was the P.M. this secular congress had opposed Abdul Kalam a muslim also calling the BJP the communal Hindu party and even the press,the media keep calling it a saffron party / right wing communal party etc etc but when congress divides and rules ,their so called intellectuals are deaf and dumb !
