Ignoring advice from his party, NCP leader P A Sangma today said he continues to be in the fray for the Presidential election as a tribal candidate. "I am in the fray as a tribal candidate, not as a NCP candidate," Sangma, a former Lok Sabha Speaker, told reporters here. NCP General Secretary D P Tripathi today met Sangma and told him that the party will support the UPA candidate in the Presidential poll, suggesting that he opt out of the race.
