The Congress on Wednesday started consultations over the presidential elections, with agriculture minister and NCP boss Sharad Pawar telling Sonia Gandhi that UPA's nominee for the post should be someone around whom consensus can be crafted. Sticking to his insistence in public on Sunday that the UPA should prefer somebody who enjoyed wider acceptability among the political class, Pawar emphasized the need for consultations with all parties in order to develop an agreement on UPA's nominee.
