Congress said that consultations are on for the Presidential
candidate and party Chief will take the final decision.
"Whenenver
there has been a political challenge during the last eight years, UPA
has shown that it is not only united but cohesive too", party spokesman
Manish Tewari told reporters.
Tewari's
remarks are significant as they come ahead of the Trinamool Congress
chief's meeting with Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday.
Noting
that party Chief Sonia Gandhi has been authorised by the Congress
Working Committee to decide the next Presidential candidate, Tewari said
the process of consultations was on and when a decision is arrived at
it will be formally announced.
He
steered clear of questions whether Congress could consider giving the
post of the Vice President to any of its allies or supporting parties.
