The Chief Minister of Odisha, Shri Naveen Patnaik will send two Ministers from Odisha to witness the filing of the presidential candidate by Draupadi Murmu. The two cabinet ministers will be sent to New Delhi and will remain present during the filing of nomination papers. Moreover, they will also sign the nomination documents.
Odisha’s ST & SC Development and Law Minister Jagannath Saraka and Water Resources, Commerce & Transport Minister Tukuni Sahu have left for the national capital and they will sign on the nomination papers of Murmu as the proposers.
The BJD took this move after BJP President J.P. Nadda spoke to Patnaik in this regard.
Informing about this development through Twitter, Patnaik said, “BJP President Shri @JPNadda ji spoke to me about the filing of nomination of Smt #DraupadiMurmu ji for #PresidentElection. My cabinet colleagues Shri @saraka_fan and Smt @TukuniSahu will sign nomination papers today and attend the event tomorrow.”
Similarly, several BJP leaders from Odisha, including MLAs and MPs are also likely to visit Delhi to remain present during the filing of nomination papers by the NDA candidate.
