The former Lok Sabha Speaker, whose candidature for President Post is being pushed by AIADMK and BJD, said he had received "promises of support from senior leaders of non-Congress parties, including those in the NDA". He sent his resignation letter to party chief Sharad Pawar soon after Janata Party President Subramanian Swamy, a constituent of NDA, met him apparently to pledge support.
