The Shiv Sena on Friday said people may ask how the Opposition will give a capable Prime Minister if it cannot field a strong candidate for the upcoming Presidential polls, stressing that it needs to take the elections for the next President seriously.
In an editorial in its mouthpiece ‘Saamana’, the party said Mahatma Gandhi’s grandson Gopalkrishna Gandhi and National Conference’s Farooq Abdullah, the “regular names that crop up during the Presidential polls”, do not have the personality or heft to make it a tightly-contested battle.
