No politics in supporting Kovind, says Jagan

No politics in supporting Kovind, says Jagan

YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy on Tuesday made it clear that his party had decided to support NDA candidate Ramnath Kovind in the Presidential elections, since the latter’s victory was a foregone conclusion.

At a get-together of the party leaders with the visiting dignitary, Jagan reiterated his party’s support to the NDA nominee and expressed his confidence that Ram Nath Kovind would win the elections hands down.

“We believe that the election to the highest posts of President and Speaker should be unanimous and we have extended our support to NDA even before the candidate was finalized. There is no room for any political ideology to come in the way as this election is being held to the highest Constitutional position in the country," said Jagan.

Kovind thanked Jagan for extending support to his candidature and assured that, if he were elected as President of India, he would uphold the decorum and dignity of the highest constitutional office and remain above politics.

In his thanks giving speech, he said that he would strive to uphold the highest constitutional post and will be apolitical and being supreme commander of the armed forces would ensure the safety of the nation’s borders.

"The highest position has been attained many luminaries and two of them include Dr Zakir Hussain and Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy who hail from the united Andhra Pradesh. While the former hails from Hyderabad capital of Telangana state now, the latter is from Ananthapur which is in Andhra Pradesh. I would emulate all the luminaries who held the post of President," he said.
