Who Is Draupadi Murmu Husband Shyam Charan Murmu? Draupadi Murmu, the NDA’s presidential candidate, was a contender five years ago when President Pranab Mukherjee was about to leave Rashtrapati Bhavan.
At the time, the tribal leader from Odisha and then-governor of Jharkhand was considered one of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s top choices.
Her election as President, with the NDA expected to win 48 percent of the vote, will be a major boost to the BJP’s tribal agenda. It could also help the party’s chances in Odisha, where it has been battling the BJD for votes.
