NCP leader and former Lok Sabha Speaker P.A. Sangma, who is beingbacked by BJD and AIADMK for the President's post, todaysought to reach out to political parties, saying he hoped they willrespond "to the call of conscience of the tribal people ofthe nation." Mr. Sangma, who met BJD chief and Odisha Chief Minister NaveenPatnaik here along with some tribal MPs, claimed he has the supportof the tribal leaders across the parties who are "fighting acommon cause of projecting a tribal as a presidentialcandidate." "We hope that other political groups including UPA and NDAwill respond to the call of conscience of the nation by the tribalpeople and support us in the coming presidential election,"he told reporters here flanked by Mr. Patnaik.
Asked if he is in touch with other political parties to garnersupport for Mr. Sangma, Mr. Patnaik said it was their duty to bringall political parties onboard on the issue of supporting the formerSpeaker. "I think it is obvious my colleague Tamil Nadu Chief MinisterJayalalithaa and I... of course we will be speaking to ourcolleagues who are many.
It is our duty to gather together thepolitical parties of the country (for supporting Sangma)...Therehas been a very encouraging response. I am sure my colleague inTamil Nadu will echo my views," he said. Both Mr. Patnaik and Ms. Jayalalithaa had announced their backingfor Mr.
Sangma on May 17, injecting a new element in thepresidential race. Observing that Mr. Sangma was by far the "best"Presidential candidate, Mr. Patnaik said, "Indeed it is timethat a distinguished tribal leader should be theRashtrapati." When asked if he has spoken to BJP on the issue, Mr. Patnaikremained evasive, saying the issue is not about politics but toelect for the first time a tribal leader as the President.
"Time will tell, I have spoken, she (Jayalalithaa) hasspoken, we are regional parties... This is the election ofRashtrapati... This is not political, this is to bring to the seatfor the first time a great tribal leader," he said. Mr. Sangma thanked both Mr.
