Gandhi, who is also the UPA chairperson, was the first to propose the candidature of the Rajasthan Governor.

She signed the nomination papers of Patil in the presence of Union Ministers P R Dasmunsi and Prithviraj Chavan.

Patil’s nomination was proposed by Gandhi, a day after the race to elect the country’s next President took intriguing turns with the Third Front springing a surprise by favouring a second term for incumbent A P J Abdul Kalam.
