Presidential poll: BSP chief Mayawati announces support for NDA’s Droupadi Murmu

Bahujan Samaj Party president Mayawati on Saturday announced her support for Droupadi Murmu, the NDA candidate for the 2022 presidential elections.

“The BSP has decided to extend support to Droupadi Murmu in the coming presidential elections, keeping in mind that the Adivasi samaj is an important part of the party’s movement,” Mayawati said.

Murmu would become the first tribal President of India and the second-ever female President if she is elected.

“This decision was taken not to support the BJP or NDA, nor to go against the Opposition UPA, but keeping in mind our party and its movement for making a capable and dedicated Adivasi woman the president of the country.”

The former UP Chief Minister criticised the opposition parties for keeping her out of consultations while deciding on the presidential candidate.
