Former Jharkhand Governor and former Odisha Minister Murmu is the NDA’s choice to run against former Union Minister and joint opposition candidate Yashwant Sinha in the July presidential elections.
On Wednesday morning (June 22), Droupadi Murmu, the presidential candidate for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), prayed at the Rairangpur Jagannath Temple in Mayurbhanj, Odisha.
She also prayed at a Shiva temple in Rairangpur, Mayurbhanj, and then swept the floor of the building. Murmu also paid a visit to the “Jahira” location of tribal worship today.
A tribal woman politician named Droupadi Murmu was chosen to represent the BJP in the NDA.
She is the united opposition candidate for the July presidential elections and the NDA’s choice to run against Yashwant Sinha, a former Union Minister and former governor of Jharkhand.
According to sources on Tuesday, she would probably submit her nomination on June 25. (June 21).
Murmu stated that she was shocked to hear about her candidacy and couldn’t believe it. She added that she will act in accordance with the constitutionally guaranteed powers of the President.
Electoral college members will be contacted, according to Murmu, who was speaking over the phone with news agency ANI.
“I’m shocked; I had trouble believing it. I’m grateful, but I don’t want to talk much right now “Former Jharkhand Governor Droupadi Murmu stated yesterday.
When asked about her goals if she were elected president, she responded, “Whatever powers of President are enshrined in the Constitution, I will work appropriately.”
When will the presidential election be held?
On July 18, voters will cast their ballots in the presidential election. She would become India’s second woman president and the nation’s first tribal leader if she were to win the election. The first presidential candidate from Odisha to represent a significant political party or coalition is Droupadi Murmu. She is still breaking down barriers and was Jharkhand’s first female governor.
From 2015 to 2021, she was the governor of Jharkhand. Droupadi Murmu finished her studies under difficult circumstances because she came from an impoverished tribal family in a village in the backward Mayurbhanj region of Odisha. She was a teacher at Rairangpur’s Shri Aurobindo Integral Education Center.
