Droupadi Murmu Will Be India’s Next President

Conceding defeat, Opposition candidate Yashwant Sinha said, “I hope—indeed, every Indian hopes—that as 15th President she functions as Custodian of Constitution without fear or favour.”

Despite the outcome of election, I believe it has benefited Indian democracy in two important ways, Sinha said. Adding that it brought most Opposition parties on a common platform.

“I tried to highlight views & concerns of Opposition on major issues before nation & common people. In particular, I voiced strong concern over blatant & rampant weaponisation of ED, CBI, IT & even office of Governor,” Sinha said.
