Observing that Droupadi Murmu has a higher chance of winning the Presidential polls, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Friday said that the consensus candidate is always better for the high office of President of India.
“If we had an idea about their (Bharatiya Janata Party’s) candidate, we could have discussed at the all-party meeting…. Though the contest is on, Droupadi Murmu’s chances are better... They have more numbers because of the developments in Maharashtra,” Ms. Banerjee said during an interaction with journalists in Kolkata.
The Chief Minister said that she has “sentiments” for women but does not judge people on the basis of their gender.
