Opposition candidate Meira Kumar on Friday launched her presidential election campaign from Mahatma Gandhi’s Sabarmati ashram in Ahmedabad. She said her fight is to take forward the ideology of the Father of the Nation.
Kumar said that she had come to Sabarmati Ashram to gain strength from his principles and help disseminate the same. Upon her arrival in Ahmedabad last evening, she said attempts are being made by some to project the election as a Dalit versus Dalit fight. Ms.Meira Kumar said it is a “battle of ideologies” and not a “Dalit versus Dalit” fight.
She was accompanied by Gujarat Congress leaders Bharatsinh Solanki and Shankersinh Vaghela.
