Opposition’s Presidential candidate Meira Kumar has said, the country can not progress with a narrow mindset based on communalism and casteism.
Addressing media after her meeting with Chhattisgarh congress MLAs in Raipur on Wednesday, Mrs Kumar said, it is unfortunate that the elections for the highest office are being associated with casteism rather than ideology. She added, the ideology that countrymen inherited from ancestors over years is under attack today.
Mrs. Kumar further said, all the 17 parties supporting her candidature, however, are united on ideology of secularism and tolerance.
All major congress leaders in Chhattisgarh including Leader of Opposition in assembly T. S. Singhdev were present on the occasion.
