Who will be the 13th president of India?

Pranab Mukherjee, P A Sangma, A P J Abdul Kalam, Somnath Chatterjee, Hamid Ansari, Meera Kumar....are the names we can see taking the oath as India's 13th President. Current finance minister Pranab da is the first choice of UPA government while UPA supporter Mamta Banerjee opposes him from the beginning. Regional parties like AIADMK and BJD are in favour of former Lok Sabha speaker P. A. Sangma. They think that a tribal person should command Indian army. Trinamool Congress supremo Mamta Banerjee has propsed the name of former President Abdul Kalam which was bing supported by the Samajwadi Party earlier. But after meeting with UPA, SP chief Mulayam Singh has denied it and they are supporting PRanab Mukherjee now. Other candidates including Somnath Chatterjee, Hamid Ansari, Meera Kumar are not the strong contender in Indian presidential election, 2012.


A few of the political parties called Manmohan Singh as their choice as PResident which means the Prime Minister has lost faith completely. Opposition party, BJP has not declared their candidate yet. NDA alliance had organized a meeting regarding the same at Advani's house today. After spneding two hours, the alliance couldn't find a common name to be be declared as their candidate against Pranab Mukherjee, P A Sangma, A P J Abdul Kalam, & others.
Lets see who will be the 13th PResident of India after Pratibha Patil..........
