Mrs Draupadi Murmu, though officially not a member of RSS but continuously participated in all the functions and programs of RSS even after becoming Governor of Jharkhand source says. She has worked hard in the tribal areas of her home state Odisha and adjoining areas. Source says RSS tried hard to get her nominated in 2017 for the highest office but the duo did not agree because they were concentrating on Dalit voters due to Ms Mayawati's effect and the Lok Sabha elections of 2019. Washing of Dalit pairs and food in the house of Dalits were probably to pass on messages to Dalits that BJP is the only party that adores and respects their source says. This was the reason probably that only one Dalit was selected for the highest office but this time situation is entirely different, the Ms Mayawati factor has almost eloped and parliamentary elections are not very near and this might have gone in favour of Mrs Draupadi Murmu for NDA nomination source says?
