The direct fight in this month's presidential election has been confirmed. It is learned that Yashwant Sinha is contesting as the joint candidate of draupadi murmu non-NDA parties on behalf of the NDA.
Apart from these two, 113 other nominations were rejected. 28 nominations were rejected at the preliminary stage. Some of the rest are non-compliant with the terms and conditions and some are Rs. 15 thousand caution deposits were not tied up.
It should be noted here that MPs must propose to run as a presidential candidate. As well as the support of a few other MPs. Those who are contesting on behalf of the ruling-opposition will have the support of MPs anyway.
What about the rest of the people? Someone prominent in some field in the country wants to run for president. When people who have nothing to do with politics want to compete, is it possible to express support for them?
The supreme court has recently struck down a case filed by a person in the same matter. The plaintiff's argument is that the proposal should remove the provision that only MPs should be supporters. But the supreme court did not take into account the man's ideas. What is the way for non-political people to contest if 30 MPs are to be found as supporters of the proposals? Certainly what MPs have to sign is that non-political individuals are being denied the opportunity to compete.
Nine nominations from ap and nine from telangana were rejected. On the whole, it makes sense that ordinary people have no chance of running for president. The supreme court struck down the case seeking to provide equal opportunities to compete. However, polling will take place on the 18th of this month and the counting of votes will take place on the 21st.
