The presidential candidate of the Bhartiya Janata Party, Draupadi Murmu is currently on a visit to her home state Odisha. However, after visiting Odisha, she had a short trip to Kolkata as well. However, as per the latest reports, it has been known that Draupadi Murmu’s Kolkata Trip has been canceled.
The main reason for the cancellation of the trip is the fact that the Centre Government will observe a national day of mourning as a mark of respect to Shinzo Abe, the former Prime Minister of Japan who died after being shot.
“As a mark of respect to former Japan’s Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe, one-day national mourning shall be observed on July 9. Therefore, all programs of NDA Presidential Candidate Draupadi Murmu stand canceled for July 9, 2022,” the press statement read.
As per the original schedule, she was supposed to have a close-door meeting with 69 elected party legislators in the state.
