Patna: Bihar Chief
Minister and Janata Dal-United (JD-U) chief Nitish Kumar is likely
to back Hamid Ansari for a second term as vice president if the
United Progressive Alliance (UPA) declares his candidature, party
leaders here said.
The JD-U, which is supporting the UPA's presidential nominee
Pranab Mukherjee, is believed to be in favour of Ansari too.
"Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is in favour of supporting Hamid
Ansari if the UPA declares his candidature for the upcoming vice
presidential polls," said a senior JD-U leader, considered close
to Nitish Kumar.
Another leader said Nitish Kumar had told the party that Ansari
was the best option for the JD-U's support.
