The opposition presidential candidate Meira Kumar for the upcoming presidential elections has begun her campaign from Sabarmati Ashram.

She said "I wish that the people of this region make progress. This is what Gandhi Ji wanted for the country and for the world. The war I am fighting right now is to uphold the ideology of Mahatma Gandhi. I am here to gain the strength to fight this war and have certainly gathered it," 

"It is very upsetting, unfortunate that a country like India, which wants to advance in every aspect, is using a mentality, which is so narrow and dividing, that too also when we are fighting for presidentship," she said.

The Presidential elections are set to take place on July 17 and counting will take place on July 24.
