"I appeal to all political parties of the region to shed their political differences and unanimously support the candidature of Sangma who is representing the tribal community," BJP national secretary Tapir Gao told reporters here.
Terming the former Lok Sabha speaker as a man with vast experience in politics and having all leadership qualities, he said Sangma would be the right choice as he would work for the tribal cause.
"It is a pride for the people of northeast that a tribal leader is opting to contest the presidential election," Gao said.
