Former Presidents and Prime Ministers are given bungalows of the highest grade. This comes after the BJP nominated Draupadi Murmu as their presidential candidate, while the opposition chose Yashwant Sinha.
Murmu, in addition to being the first tribal President, will be the first Odia to hold the country's highest constitutional office if elected. Murmu, a native of the tribal-dominated Mayurbhanj region, formerly served as Jharkhand's governor. She held that position from 2015 until 2021.
