Yashwant Sinha, the common opposition candidate for the presidential election, on June 27 said he would reach out to his former colleagues in the BJP seeking their support.
Addressing a press conference here, Mr. Sinha described the candidature of his rival NDA nominee Droupadi Murmu, a tribal, as part of "politics of symbolism" and insisted that he would contest the poll on the track record of the Modi Government with regard to the welfare of backward communities.
