The NDA will meet at LK Advani's residence to decide on the president election, said Subramanian Swamy after meeting Sangma.

Sushil Kumar Modi said the Prime Ministerial candidate will be decided by the NDA collectively and not by the BJP.

Kalam's decision not to contest the Presidential poll has not only left the NDA divided, but also stunned Mamata Banerjee, who had till now been his biggest supporter.

BJP is yet to decide its stand on Mukherjee's candidature and an influential section in the party favours a contest in the Presidential elections.

Sonia quickly broke an alliance that appeared to be forming between Mamata and the Samajwadi Party.

BJP will not take a decision before talking to its chief ministers and its allies, Shahnawaz Hussain said.

Mamata wrote in her first post on Facebook, "I gave voice to what millions of Indians want to see in a President".

Mamata Banerjee's party has been the most troublesome ally of the UPA and has blocked several reforms measures.

For the first time in recent times, Mamata has found her gambit defying the UPA government falling flat on its face.

The result gave relief to Sharad Pawar after the setback in Khadakwasla Assembly by-poll in Pune district last year.

The NDA is also set to meet at 11 am at senior leader LK Advani's residence to discuss the Presidential candidate.

Congress President Sonia Gandhi will meet NCP chief Sharad Pawar at 5 pm on Thursday to discuss the Presidential candidate.

Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik extended support to yoga guru Ramdev's campaign against black money.

The SAD-BJP combine in Punjab on Sunday swept the civic polls in Punjab drubbing the opposition Congress.

The PM has said that people are losing the ability to engage in rational discourse where different points of views are expressed.

Anna Hazare and Ramdev are going to be on a day-long fast against corruption at Jantar Mantar on Sunday.
