Opposition's Presidential candidate Meira Kumar today said ideology is the only plank for the forthcoming election. <br/><br/>She said that the unity of 17 political parties is based on firm ideological positions that are dear to most of the people of the country. <br/><br/>She said people have to choose between the two in the Presidential election – one which leads to suppression, and fear and the other which leads to multi-religious society, tolerance and respect for all religious denominations. <br/><br/>Ms. Kumar, along with National Democratic Alliance's (NDA) Presidential nominee Ram Nath Kovind, has been campaigning for the upcoming Presidential polls. Both will campaign in Meghalaya this week. <br/><br/>The election for the next President of India is to be held on the 17th of this month. President, Mr. Pranab Mukherjee will demit office on the 24th of July.
