The BJP has ruled out the possibility of supporting the UPA’s candidate for Presidency, describing as “unfortunate” Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s suggestion to the NDA to come in support of the ruling alliance’s nominee.BJP Vice-President Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi insisted that no parallel can be drawn between the election of APJ Abdul Kalam as President and the present move by UPA in the upcoming election for the highest office.“The situation is completely different. During the NDA rule, we held discussions with the then Opposition on our choice of candidate for Presidency, unlike today when the Congress has not bothered to consult us on who should be the next President,” he said. “His move is rather unfortunate,” Naqvi said.
