President election is round the corner opposition and ruling parties are confident of the victory of their respective candidates' sources say. Name of Sharad Pawar, Nitish Kumar, and Ms Mayawati is taking round from the NDA side source say. Congress is likely to prop up the name of Sharad Yadav and TMC is trying to project the name of Yashwant Sinha and work for consensus on his name. BJP has kept the plan very close to the chest but the number game is still in their favor despite after 2017 elections Akali Dal, Shiv Sena, and TDP already deserted the combined source says. Opposition leaders are viewing this chance to strengthen the opposition unity to project a united challenge to BJP in the 2024 elections. National parties are heavily dependent on regional parties and trying to convince the leaders to support national causes source says. Sources say the name will be finalized for the common candidate from the opposition side in all-party meetings sans support parties of BJP and BJP soon?
