The announcement of July 19 as the date for the presidential election coincided with Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee reaching Delhi on Tuesday evening for an important meeting with Congress president Sonia Gandhi expected to centre on UPA's choice for President. The Election Commission's announcement injected a sense of urgency into the discussions although the last date of nomination being June 30 gives Congress some leeway to seal taxing negotiations with allies like Mamata and outside supporters like Mulayam Singh Yadav.
