Draupadi Murmu thanks Jagan

HYDERABAD: Former Jharkhand Governor and NDA's Presidential candidate Draupadi Murmu has thanked YSR Congress Party's (YSRCP) chief and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy for backing her up in the upcoming Presidential elections.

Ms. Murmu called up Jagan on Sunday over phone, three days after YSRCP MPs Vijay Sai Reddy and Mithun Reddy signed her nomination papers. Reportedly, the leaders also discussed the elections and their political agendas. The most-likely next President of India also prepared the ground for touring multiple states and meeting multiple leaders.

The YSRCP's 4.2% vote share would be very crucial for BJP-led NDA candidate's win and with their support, the candidate would not have to fall back even on Naveen Patnaik's Biju Janta Dal (BJD).
