BJP chose its presidential nominee and made the announcement that Bihar governor Ram Nath Kovind as the National Democratic Alliance’s presidential candidate.Here are some reasons below which made BJP do this tactical selection.
First of all it can highlight this candidate selection in the Lok sabha that it chose a lower caste leader for the country’s prestigious top post at a time This is to pinpoint that even though having absolute majority in the Lok Sabha BJP government proved that its not biased.
nominating a Dalit for the President’s post maks it difficult for the senior leadersAdvani and Murli Manohar Joshi. who were expecting to be nominated to put forward their own interests in this respect.
Moreover its is like awarding the Uttar Pradesh which gave 73 out of 80 Lok Sabha seats to the BJP in 2014. Kovind is a Dalit from Uttar Pradesh, he will be the second state leader after Modi (who is the Varanasi MP) to hold a top prestigious post in the government if elected..
