Party to take decision after formal announcement of name: Advani
Mumbai, June 8 (UNI) While Congress' coalition partner NCP has shown certain reservations on the possible candidature of Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil for the Presidential election, senior BJP leader and fomer Deputy Prime Minister, L K Advani today said the party would take a decision after a formal announcement of the Congress' presidential candidate.
''We will take a decision after the formal announcement of the name,'' Mr Advani told mediapersons after attending the felicitation ceremony of senior BJP leader and former Union Minister Ved Praksh Goyal for completing 60 years in public life.
On the other hand, Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M), which heads the Left block and whose support is vital for UPA, is also opposing Mr Patil's name for the presidency in the country.
