On Tuesday night, when she came to know that her name had been chosen as the candidate for the presidential polls at the BJP's legislature party meeting, she could not believe it. In the words of Draupadi Murmu, "I was really surprised. I can't believe it happened. For that I am grateful. When I come to office, I will do my duty according to the Constitution."

She then sat in the MLA's seat twice. She was also in Naveen Patnaik's cabinet. Murmu then served as Governor of Jharkhand till last year. Draupadi's fight is going to be tough though. Because the opposition camp's candidate against her is heavyweight Yashwant Sinha. But it goes without saying that Murmu has also started preparing. She is likely to file her nomination on June 25.
