Presidential Election: PM Modi to accompany RN Kovind during filing of nomination

New Delhi, Jun 23 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated via Twitter that he will be accompanying former Bihar Governor and BJP's Presidential candidate Ram Nath Koving during the latter's nomination filing.

"Will accompany Shri Ram Nath Kovind Ji as he files his nomination papers today for the upcoming Presidential election," the Prime Minister's tweet read.

Kovind will battle it out for India's top diplomatic post with Meira Kumar, former and India's first women Lok Sabha Speaker.

The battle has been touted as a 'Dalit vs Dalit' contest, given the respective candidate's backgrounds.

While Kovind has the support of JDU and BSP alongside BJP, Kumar is the unanimous choice of the remaining opposition parties.
