Kolkata, Jul 12: NDA's Presidential candidate Droupadi Murmu paid tribute to Swami Vivekananda today (Jul 12). Murmu paid tribute to Vivekananda at his ancestral residence in Kolkata. She also met with BJP MP Sukanta Majumdar, who is also West Bengal BJP chief, and others in Kolkata.

 

 

 

 

Murmu was accompanied by BJP leaders Suvendu Adhikari, Sukanta Majumdar, Agnimitra Pal and others. She garlanded the statue of Swamiji at his ancestral home on Shimla Street and paid obeisance to him. Murmu was handed over books of Ramakrishna Paramhansa by monks of the Ramakrishna Mission. The NDA presidential candidate signed the visitor's book kept at the house of Swamiji.

 

 

 

 

 

The NDA candidate has been touring various states to seek the support of legislators. She also has the support of the YSR Congress Party, BJD and Akali Dal. Earlier on Monday (Jul 11), Shiv Sena MPs, who had attended a meeting called by party chief Uddhav Thackeray in Mumbai on presidential elections, have demanded that the party should support Murmu.

 

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut said, "We discussed Droupadi Murmu (NDA's Presidential candidate) in our meeting yesterday. Supporting Droupadi Murmu does not mean supporting BJP. Shiv Sena's role will be clear in a day or two, party chief Uddhav Thackeray will make a decision."
