Odisha tribal leader Draupadi Murmu in race for India’s next President

May 04, 2022

Former Jharkhand governor and Odisha BJP leader Draupadi Murmu’s name is at the forefront for the next president of India. The ruling party’s good show in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Goa, and Manipur has put the BJP-led NDA in a comfortable position, but it is short of a majority so it would want a candidate, whom opposition parties could support.

According to the reports, Murmu, fits the bill perfectly for the BJP, as she is not only a well-known tribal leader but an able administrator which she has proved in her tenure as Jharkhand’s governor. Murmu’s candidature will also get support from Naveen Patnaik led BJD in the presidential elections as she has worked as a minister in the BJD and BJP coalition government in Odisha and still shares a cordial relationship with Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik.

Patnaik, who was recently on a three-day visit to Delhi after being questioned if he would prefer a consensus candidate for the top constitutional position of the country, stated that it’s still early and the party will take a decision after the candidates are finalized. So, if Murmu will be the BJP candidate then BJD is likely to support her.

Murmu is quite popular among the top brass of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and also shares a cordial bond with everyone. During her term as Jharkhand’s governor, Murmu was liked by both the ruling party and the opposition. Murmu’s candidature will also likely gain the support of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) as JMM’s supremo Sibu Soren and Jharkhand CM Hemant Soren have a warm relationship with her.

If Draupadi succeeds Ram Nath Kovid, she will be the first Odia and first tribal person to hold the topmost constitutional post.

10 Years in positive journalism, and counting…..

One decade of carrying positive journalism is no less than providing a service to the nation. As a result, the fear of losing the respect of the readers is what prevents us not to be stopping to any publications related to those inspiring personalities on a regulative basis in order to attain inspiration. We believe that we have espoused the cause of positive and developmental journalism with utmost honesty and rigor. Unfazed by the competing media platforms who are obsessed with the TRP game and have no qualms in compromising time honored media ethics, we can safely claim we are out of this mad race for recognition. Rather, we chose the path less trodden. And, that has positioned The Interview Times where you find it today. We chose to play up the stories of those personalities who climbed the success ladder by the dint of their grit and gumption. These were the stories which escaped the wide lens of the big media. That is the narrative which you and I find relatable. And, we count on your support and patronage to keep this tradition running.

Once again, I would like to state that the entire family of Interview Times Media Network is firmly committed to positive journalism in pursuit of making a better society in the days to come. Journalism is a passion for us, not a profession. Let’s celebrate.

In this traumatic pandemic, a thank you note is incomplete without saluting the departed as well as those who lost their loved ones while pursuing journalism selflessly. Hope better days are in the offing with light and rays.

It is therefore asked all of your’s noble donations to sustain the importance of pursuing positive journalism round the year.Lets value it sacredly.
