Democracy stands “ruined” in the country, Yashwant Sinha, the joint nominee of the opposition parties in the upcoming presidential polls said here on Saturday.
He said the presidential election should not be made a question of identity, but a fight for ideology.
Mr. Sinha, who was minister in the Atal Bihari Vajpayee Cabinet and an MP from Hazaribag, met the JMM executive president and State Chief Minister Hemant Soren and sought the party’s support and attended a meeting of Congress legislators ahead of the July 18 presidential election.
