New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi called Draupadi Murmu that day to inform him that he has decided to be the candidate of the BJP alliance for the post of President. But Draupadi Murmu did not take that ‘most important’ phone call. The reason is that you don’t always carry your mobile phone with you.
∙ Called by the Prime Minister
Draupadi Murmu was the Governor of Jharkhand then. She was at a 63rd birthday event at Rairangapur near her native village Uparbeda in Odisha at that time. Then former special officer Bikash Chandra Mohonta received a call from the Prime Minister’s office. He ran to the governor with the phone. On the other side was Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The ‘missed call’ incident on June 21, 2022 is described in the book ‘Draupadi Murmu: From Tribal Hinterlands to Raisina Hill’. Journalist Kasturi Rai is the author.
∙ Power cut at home
The book also states that Narendra Modi replied to Draupadi Murmu, who doubted whether he might perform such a lofty task as expected. After this talk, there was a celebration on the TV channels for the nomination of Draupadi Murmu as the presidential candidate by the BJP alliance. But Draupadi Murmu and her family members might not watch the channels. There was a power cut in those areas!
