VIJAYAWADA: The ruling YSRC has extended its support to NDA presidential nominee Droupadi Murmu as her nomination for the post is in tune with the party’s policy for empowerment of women and economic uplift of BCs, SCs, STs and minorities.
YSRC Parliamentary Party leader V Vijayasai Reddy and the party floor leader in the Lok Sabha PV Mithun Reddy signed the nomination of Murmu in support of her candidature for the presidential election.
Vijayasai Reddy was among the leaders who accompanied Murmu, for filing her nomination in New Delhi on Friday. With YSRC extending its support to the NDA presidential nominee, along with BJD of Odisha, Murmu is poised to win the presidential election easily. Meanwhile, the Opposition TDP is yet to take a decision on extending its support to the NDA candidate, but it is likely to back Murmu.
