JD(U) to take time to decide on VP candidate

Patna: JD(U) will would take some time to decide on the candidate for the vice-presidential election and would take the decision after thorough discussions and consultations.

No name for the post of vice-president has come up so far and the party will discuss and consult when it does, Bihar JD(U) president Bashisth Narayan Singh, MP, told newsmen here.

He, however, parried a question as to whether his party would support Hamid Ansari for the post of vice-president.

On his party's relation with BJP in the wake of JD(U) supporting Pranab Mukherjee in the coming presidential poll, Singh said the two are mutual allies for a long time and there is no need to explore new news about it.
