Kovind becomes the 14th President of India….!
(Sunil Negi, President, U J F)
Himalayandiscover.com extends its Heartiest Congratulations to the 14th President of Indian Republic His Excellency Ram Nath Kovind for his resounding victory who secured 65.65% votes as the ruling NDA candidate against the former speaker Lok Sabha Meera Kumar, daughter of one time Congress stalwart late Jagjivan Ram, having secured 35.34% votes representing Congress led United Progressive Alliance.
The victory of Mr. Kovind was expected since beginning keeping in view the ruling NDA’s already calculated majority votes as compared to the votes of UPA. Though the Congress led UPA was already aware of their defeat but they made Meira Kumar contest to express their voice of dissent against the increasing cult of communal n divisive politics in the country in the name of religion n cow vigilantism as said by Sonia Gandhi while expressing her views on Miera Kumar’s candidature.
Political analysts say that the contests for the posts of President n Vice President by Congress led UPA is a sequel to the forthcoming anti BJP opposition unity for the 2019 general elections to ensure that the increasing political influence of Narendra Modi n BJP is countered collectively on progressive lines n secularism compounded with other burning issues of national n regional significance. My congratulations to Miera Kumar as well who strengthened the democratic traditions n values by giving a good n courgeous fight despite knowing that she is on a weak wicket. It may be recalled that Ram Nath Kovind primarily hailed from a lower middle family of Kanpur rural area.
He joined active politics in 1991 after joining BJP and saw a meteoric rise, though after great efforts. He was lucky enough to be the member of Rajya Sabha twice after practising law in High n Supreme courts. He was also the chief of the BJP Scheduled Caste n Scheduled Tribe Morcha in the nineties. After Morarji Desai’s assuming the prime minister ship in 1977 he was appointed his personal assistant. Was also the government’s standing council during Vajpayee’s tenure for two year. After Modi came to power at the centre he was appointed as Governor of Bihar finally becoming the first citizen on India, the honourable 14th President of the largest democracy of the world hailing from dalit community. Our heartiest gratitude n greetings to him on elevation to the highest post of the land.
