Meira Kumar, the Opposition Presidential candidate yesterday while addressing a press conference expressed her view for the upcoming  Presidential elections.

She said "I respectKovind. My fight is not against him but the ideology,".

She further added that "In the earlier elections, when other caste people stood, nobody talked about their caste but about their qualities, talent, achievements.But now when Kovind and I have stood for the elections, people are talking about nothing else but caste. India wants to become a modern nation but this mindset is a mismatch with this," 

On July 17 the election for the next President of India is scheduled to be held.
