With Vice-President Hamid Ansari and Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee emerging as probable Congress choices for the presidential polls, the BJP yesterday ruled out supporting either of them and said the party was open to supporting a candidate chosen by non-Congress parties.

Senior BJP leader Sushma Swaraj spelt out broad parameters of the party’s approach to the presidential polls even as Congress said that discussions on the choice of candidate were at “nascent” stages.
