It should be noted that for the last several days, due to lack of unity among the opposition clans as a presidential candidate, the final seal was not being done on any name. Although the opposition had put forward several names as presidential candidates, from NCP chief Sharad Pawar to NC’s Farooq Abdullah, they themselves turned down their proposals. Although Gopalkrishna’s name was also forwarded by the opposition parties as the presidential candidate yesterday, but he rejected the proposal of the opposition, but today the opposition parties have stamped the name of Yashwant Sinha. Now in such a situation, it has to be seen that who can sit on the chair of the President later.
According to the Election Commission, the presidential election will be held on July 18 and the counting of votes will take place on July 21. After this, on July 22, it will be clear who will be the next Excellency of the country. Keep in mind that the term of President Ram Nath Kovind is going to end on July 24. In such a situation, the discussion of presidential election is gaining momentum in the political corridors.
