“I have exactly two months to go. On July 25, a new President will assume office. I am sending back officials who have worked with me, back to their ministries and departments. One has gone to the Commerce Ministry, two to the Ministry of External Affairs,” Mukherjee was quoted by news agency IANS as saying at a farewell tea party on Thursday.
The development came on a day when Congress chief Sonia Gandhi called a meeting of NDA-parties tomorrow in New Delhi apparently to “explore the possibility of fielding a joint candidate for the Presidential polls”.
