Assam Tribune | Kalyan Barooah | New Delhi, March 15
Is the next President of the country going to be from the North-east? If initial thinking in the ruling UPA is any indication, the next person to occupy Rashtrapati Bhavan may well be from the region.
According to highly placed sources, the Congress Party has begun consulting its allies and few Opposition parties on nominating someone from the North-east to the highest Constitutional post. At this stage, no names have been circulated but Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi is definitely a possibility, sources said.
The top leader, who is privy to the initial discussions, revealed that response from some of the UPA allies including the troublesome Trinamool Congress was positive. Most of the parties, which were consulted, agreed that nominating someone from the North-east would send a right signal to the insurgency-ridden region. The Congress Party has to get its act together by June.
