AAP for Meira Kumar as Prez
- IndiaGlitz, [Friday,June 23 2017]
Aam Aadmi Patry (AAP) led by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal might back Meira Kejriwal, the candidate chosen by the 17-party Opposition in a bid to not support the BJP candidate, according to some sources. This comes as surprise, as AAP was not allowed to participate in the discussion to select a presidential candidate and is not part of the 17-party group of non-NDA parties.
JD (U) led by Nitish Kumar has decided not to support the Opposition's candidate. But with AAP backing the candidate, the loss has been more or less compensated, as the party has 86 MLAs and four Lok Sabha MPs.
