On one hand, BJP is confident that their candidate, Ram Nath Kovind will win comfortably. On another, Congress is sure of its candidate Meira Kumar and her their best choice. Clash of ideologies!
Union ministers are confident of Kovind’s decisive victory and he will turn out to be an honest president as his career has always been spotless.
According to Congress leaders, Meira is the best choice for the president post. According to them, Meira believes in an ideology under which everybody should be equal for a president. Backing Kumar, the CPI(M) urged voters, comprising MPs and MLAs, to pick the “custodian of the Constitution” thoughtfully and while voting listen to the voice of conscience. They said that they believe in democracy and that’s why they are contesting.
Mayawati also claimed it was because of her party that the NDA and the opposition had to field candidates from the community.
Winning or losing (a poll) is a different issue. Whoever wins, the good thing is a Scheduled Caste person will be the country’s president.
The results will be declared on 20 July.
