Primary opposition in India Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) announced Thursday it will back former Lok Sabha speaker P.A. Sangma for the presidential race. According to Indian news agency (IANS), BJP Leader Sushma Swaraj said: "We had two candidates, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam (former president) and Sangma. As Kalamji decided not to contest, so the second one was Sangma." The opposition's support for Sangma follows his resignation from the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP). Earlier media reports had indicated the BJP would support India's Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee.
