Droupadi Murmu, the National Democratic Alliance’s (NDA) Presidential candidate, said her candidature was a reflection of the value of ‘ Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas aur Sabka Vishwas’ (everyone’s support, everyone’s development and everyone’s trust).
“No tribal person had ever occupied the post of President of India. My nomination as a candidate for the post of President of India is reflection of the value ‘ Sabka Sath, Sabka Vikas aur Sabka Vishwas‘. I have called everyone who proposed my name for the post and thanked them,” Ms. Murmu said, reacting to the news from her Rairangpur house in Odisha’s Mayurbhanj district on Tuesday.
“I was among many people whose names were considered for the post of President of India. I believed whoever would have been nominated would have surely served the country to their fullest capacity. I was surprised at the declaration of my name for the post. This is a huge responsibility,” the former Jharkhand Governor said.
