There is a strong probability of Sreedharan being nominated as the ruling BJP-led NDA's candidate for the president's post in the July 17 election.Metro Man Sreedharan and Rajnikanth are two frontrunnners for presedential candidate. The move is aimed at garnering more people support during the 2019 general elections.
The other BJP leaders whose names were in the reckoning were LK Advani, Sushma Swaraj, MM Joshi and Sumitra Mahajan. However Modi will prefer to have a non political figure as a President.
