Patna: Although, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) supremo Sharad Pawar has declined to become the comman opposition candidate for Presidential poll, he could agree to a Presidential run if National Democratic Alliance (NDA) supports him, leading to his emergence as a consensus candidate, said NCP Bihar unit vice president and spokesman Navin Kumar Singh here on Thursday. 

Referring to the opposition's strength, Singh claimed that the opposition candidate has the required numbers to win the presidential election  but "Sharad Pawar was ideologically against any election for the post and preferred for unanimous election to maintain the dignity of the top post."
