New Delhi: The
Congress could not spare Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the party
said Thursday, ruling out his candidature as president.
"Manmohan Singh will stay prime minister till 2014," Congress
leader Janardhan Dwivedi told reporters. "We cannot afford to
spare Dr. Manmohan Singh," he added.
It was the first comment of the party since Trinamool Congress'
Mamata Banerjee and Samajwadi Party's Mulayam Singh Yadav
Wednesday listed Manmohan Singh as one of their preferred choices
for the president's post.
