"People
give their candidature. After that whatever decision is taken with
consensus everybody accepts it. Mamata is our very senior leader and we
hope that she will also accept it. If everybody agrees, the whole
coalition agrees then I think she will also agree," Union Minister and
Congress leader Sri Prakash Jaiswal told reporters.
Jaiswal's comments come at a time when Banerjee has reiterated her support to A P J Abdul Kalam for the top post.
In a posting on her Facebook page, Banerjee today said Kalam was TMC's choice as well as the choice of millions of Indians.
"I gave voice to what millions of Indians want to see in a President," she said.
Refusing
to budge from her stand, she said, "My party is a small party. We are
not a big party with none of the resources others possess. We are led by
truth and conviction. All through my life I have stood by my
principles. I stand by the position I have taken."
Mukherjee had on Friday made a personal appeal to Banerjee, saying he expected her support as she was like a sister to him.
