Draupadi Murmu was all set to become the President of
India. However, the political mathematics of the BJP suits well with Bihar Governor Ramnath Kovind than that of Draupadi Murmu, Jharkhand Governor. There was no denying that she was the front runner for the coveted post.
At present she is the Governor of Jharkhand (the
first woman Governor of Jharkhand).
It is interesting to see that a simple and down to
Earth lady like Draupadi Murmu had overtaken stalwarts like L K Advani, Murli
Manohar Joshi, Azim Premji and Thawar Chand Gahlot in the race for the
prestigious post.
