Mumbai: Unlike the
presidential elections, the Shiv Sena will remain with the
opposition National Democratic Alliance (NDA) for the vice
presidential poll Aug 7, a party MP said here Sunday.
"We have decided to support the NDA for the vice president's
elections. Whoever is the vice presidential candidate of the NDA,
Shiv Sena will go with that," Sena MP and spokesperson Sanjay Raut
told mediapersons.
The party is supporting the United Progressive Alliance
presidential candidate Pranab Mukherjee in the July 19 poll.
"We have not supported the Congress or the UPA on the presidential
election, but we have endorsed Pranab Mukherjee's candidature,"
Raut said.
He said that Shiv Sena had not made any deal with any party on the
presidential poll. "We have always opposed the Congress and shall
continue to do so."
The Shiv Sena's clear stance on the vice presidential poll is
expected to prove a relief to the NDA's leading partner, the
Bharatiya Janata Party.
According to sources, the NDA is likely to field BJP leader and
former cabinet minister Jaswant Singh for vice president to
challenge UPA nominee and current Vice President Hamid Ansari, who
has been fielded for a second term.
