Poll buzz gets stronger in Cong; Gehlot meets Sonia Gandhi
I will not back out from any responsibility and will serve the party wherever and in whichever capacity I am required in this hour of crisis, Gehlot said.
A day after being picked as the NDA nominee for the presidential election, Ram Nath Kovind resigned as Bihar Governor on Tuesday. West Bengal Governor Keshari Nath Tripathi has been given the additional charge of Bihar till the new appointment is made.
Earlier in the day, Kovind met Home Minister Rajnath Singh. The BJP surprised one and all by announcing Kovind as NDA’s pick for the presidential poll. Political pundits say Opposition parties have no choice but to accept Kovind or put up another Dalit candidate against him. The Dalit card played by BJP makes Kovind’s appointment as the next President of India imminent, experts say.
