The Legislative Party of the Janata Dal (Secular) on Friday decided to support NDA presidential candidate Draupadi Murmu in the election to be held on July 18.
The Legislative Party’s decision follows the visit of Ms. Murmu to the residence of former Prime Minister and JD(S) supremo H.D. Deve Gowda recently seeking the party support for her candidature. She had also spoken to Mr. Gowda on phone soon after her selection as presidential candidate.
The JDLP on Friday was held in the absence of its leader and former Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy, who is in isolation after testing positive for COVID-19 and party State president C.M. Ibrahim, who is busy with his daughter’s wedding.
