New Delhi, Jun 14 (IANS): Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee Thursday met Congress president Sonia Gandhi to discuss the presidential elections, officials said.
Mukherjee reached Gandhi's 10, Janpath residence a little after 10 a.m.
The meeting comes after West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Mulayam Singh Yadav virtually rejected Gandhi's presidential choices Mukherjee and Vice President Hamid Ansari.
Banerjee and Mulayam Singh instead listed Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, former president A.P.J. Abdul Kalam and former Lok Sabha speaker Somnath Chatterjee as their presidential candidate.
Defence minister A.K. Antony also met Gandhi.
