New Delhi: In the meeting of Mamta Banerjee convened in the Constitution Club regarding the presidential election, there was a deep discussion about the possible candidate. This meeting of opposition parties lasted for about two hours. In the meeting, Mamata Banerjee proposed the names of Mahatma Gandhi's grandson Gopal Gandhi and former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah as presidential candidates.

Sources said that the opposition camp was earlier keen to field Sharad Pawar. But seeing doubts on the victory, Pawar distanced himself from this race. After that the churning of other names started. The opposition parties put forth their opinion one by one. Later Mamta suggested two names. After this, Sharad Pawar also said that we are conducting an opinion poll on the name. Mamta Banerjee said that all the opposition parties have decided that there will be only one candidate, so that their candidate can be put up firmly against the Modi government. At the same time, the repressive policies of the central government can be stopped.

Mamta had written a letter to 22 leaders of the opposition urging them to attend the meeting. Senior party leader Mallikarjun Kharge attended the meeting on behalf of the Congress. Presidential elections are proposed in the country on 18 July. The results will be out on July 21. President Ram Nath Kovind's term ends on July 24. Before that the President has to be elected.
