New Delhi [India] August 5 (ANI): Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal is expected to call on the newly elected President Droupadi Murmu on Friday evening, according to a source.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee who is on a 4-day visit to the national capital is also set to meet President Droupadi Murmu. Banerjee also reached Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s residence on Friday for a meeting.

Droupadi Murmu is the first Indian tribal women President. Before being elected to the top constitutional office, she also served as the first woman governor of Jharkhand. She served as Jharkhand Governor from 2015 to 2021.
