New Delhi, June 27 (IANS): Opposition presidential candidate Meira Kumar on Tuesday said she will start her election campaign from Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad on June 30.
"I feel I should start my election campaign from Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad. I will start from there," said Kumar briefing media here, a day ahead of filing her nomination papers.
Asked why Sabarmati, Kumar said: "Everybody knows the significance of Sabarmati in our country. The 'sant' of Sabarmati (Mahatma Gandhi) played an important role in the freedom movement of our country. That's why I am going there."
Asked about Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's stance and whether she will speak to him for his support, Kumar said: "Such things happen in politics. It is not a new thing. What I need to do about it, I will decide at the right time."
Kumar will visit all the states and meet the MLAs there as part of her campaign.
