New Delhi, 12/6: The BJP on Sunday authorised its president J P Nadda and Union minister Rajnath Singh to hold consultations with different political parties, including those in the opposition on the president’s election, in what is being seen as an outreach by the ruling party to arrive at a consensus on the choice for the top constitutional post.
In a statement, the party said the two senior leaders will talk to both ruling NDA and opposition UPA constituents, besides other political parties as well as independent members.
They will soon begin holding these consultations, the party said.
