BJP's bet for President: Manthan on women or tribals; The names of Anandi, Anusuya and Draupadi are at the fore in the race.

The country will get a new President on the 25th of next month. Enrollment process is going on. June 29 is the last date to fill the form. Meanwhile, the churning of names of presidential candidates has started on behalf of the government and the opposition. Many names are being discussed on behalf of the opposition regarding the candidate for the presidential election, but no consensus is being reached on any name. Many leaders of the opposition have categorically refused to become the presidential candidate, while the ruling party has not yet opened its cards.

Women, Muslims, Dalits or any other person from South India is being considered in the race to become a superintendent in the BJP, so that the assembly elections in 2022-23 and the Lok Sabha elections in 2024 can be easily handled. It will be interesting to see whether one of the names being discussed emerges or, like every time, this time too the party comes out with a new name.

One by one, Dainik Bhaskar examined the communities that are eyeing the presidential election. You also read…

Tribal: Till now no person from the tribal community has become the President in the country. Women, Dalits, Muslims and people coming from South India have become the President, but the tribal community has been deprived of it. In such a situation, the demand has been arising that a person from the Dalit society should also be placed on the highest post of the country.

Out of 543 Lok Sabha seats, 47 seats are reserved for ST category. The tribal community has influence in more than 60 seats. A large number of tribal voters are in a decisive position in Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh. In such a situation, discussion on tribal name is also going on.

Women: Women have become the core vote bank for BJP. BJP's efforts are on to tap this vote bank. It is being told that the names of women are being considered the fastest. This includes UP Governor Anandiben Patel. Patel is very close to Narendra Modi.

Apart from Patel, former Governor Draupadi Murmu, Chhattisgarh Governor Anusuiya Uikey are also said to be involved in this race. In the event of making either of them the President, BJP can shoot two targets with one arrow. The first is that this will make it easier for the tribal society to handle and secondly the message will be sent to the women as well.
