Pranab to meet Congress, CPI(M), Forward Bloc MLAs tomorrow

"I will meet members of the Congress, CPI(M) and Forward Bloc at the Assembly tomorrow. These parties have pledged to support my candidature," Mukherjee said at the NSC Bose International Airport here.

He did not divulge whether he would meet members of key UPA ally Trinamool Congress or the party chief and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee who had tried to field former president A P J Abdul Kalam as the nominee of the coalition.

"Everything else I will tell you tomorrow," Mukherjee said on his arrival from New Delhi.

Mukherjee will fight former Lok Sabha Speaker P A Sangma, backed by BJP and some other parties, in the election to be held on July 19. The counting of votes will take place on July 22.
