Advantage BJP: How Droupadi Murmu’s nomination for President has divided the Opposition

Firstpost  

The Opposition’s unity has come undone with the Shiv Sena backing Droupadi Murmu for the upcoming 18 July Presidential elections. The JD in Karnataka and Jharkhand’s JMM have also hinted their support for her Droupadi Murmu’s candidacy for President is proving to be an inspired choice for the Bharatiya Janata Party. In the last week of June, BSP chief Mayawati had said, “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. The Indian government is misusing its powers and creating a situation for many people whereby they are compelled to vote for them.” JMM in a fix Last week, Murmu visited Jharkhand and sought the support of the ruling Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, a tribal party, besides BJP legislators and parliamentarians in the state for her election to the country’s topmost office. JD leader HD Kumaraswamy was quoted as telling the Indian Express: “Droupadi Murmu already has sufficient backing and does not need our support, but she has nevertheless asked for our support, and that is a sign of her goodness.” Kumaraswamy also said that Murmu, who looks set to win in the election to be held next month, had telephoned former prime minister and JD supremo H D Deve Gowda twice to seek support.
