NEW DELHI: After Sharad Pawar and Farooq Abdullah, Gopalkrishna Gandhi became the third person to rule himself out of reckoning to be the joint opposition candidate for next month's presidential election . "Opposition's presidential candidate should generate national consensus, there will be others who will do this far better than I," Gandhi said while announcing his decision.The opposition is now in a race against time to field a joint candidate against the NDA nominee. Abdullah and Gandhi's names were proposed by Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee on June 15 during a meeting attended by 17 opposition parties.Abdullah withdrew his name as the potential joint opposition candidate, saying he has a "lot more active politics" ahead of him, and that he wanted to contribute in navigating the Union Territory of J&K through the current "critical juncture". NCP chief Sharad Pawar, said to have been opposition's top choice, had also declined the offer.The NDA on the other hand has the option to re-nominate incumbent President Ram Nath Kovind or field vice-president M Venkaiah Naidu.
