Kumar said she was honoured by the trust the 17 parties led by the Congress have show in her.

17 opposition parties have fielded Kumar as their joint candidate in the presidential election against NDA's nominee Ram Nath Kovind.

UPA-led by Congress has nominated Meira Kumar against Ram Nath Kovind, BJP-led NDA's candidate for the polls.

Rift is being speculated in the grand alliance after Lalu said that Nitish Kumar made a mistake by extending support to Kovind.

Sonia Gandhi and other top Congress and opposition leaders were amongst those who proposed and seconded her nomination.

Lalu Prasad however said that the difference in views will not have any impact on the Grand Alliance government in Bihar.
