The Opposition’s candidate for the Presidential election, Yashwant Sinha has said that the country is passing through a difficult phase and there is a dire need for arresting the process of ‘collapse of the nation with high-headed attitude and practice of divisive ideology by the ruling section’.
“Irrespective of the outcome of the election, which is taking place under extraordinary circumstances, my fight against the divisive ideology will continue with the support of leaders such as Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao. The Presidential election is not the fight of identity of two individuals. It is a fight between two ideologies and ethos,” said Sinha, while addressing a meeting organised by Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) in support of his candidature on Saturday.
Stating that he was overwhelmed with the reception accorded to him, Mr. Sinha said Nobel laureate Amartya Sen had recently expressed fears that India as a nation was ‘collapsing due to the practice of hate and divisive policies and there was need to stop the spread of such cancer’.
