Two days ago, she has written a letter to all electors requesting them to extend their support. She said she will start her campaign from Sabarmati.  

Replying on JDU's support, she said such things happen in politics and she will decide what to do at the right time. 

While replying to a question raised by NewsNation over ‘caste’ face in the Presidential poll, Meira Kumar said that the caste factor should be tied up in a bag and bury in deep earth.
