New Delhi: Ram Nath Kovind, a lawyer-turned- politician, on Tuesday took over as India's 14th President in a grand ceremony, and emphasised that diversity is the key to India's success.
"Our diversity is the core that makes us so unique. In this country, we find a mix of states and regions, religions, languages, cultures, lifestyles and much more.
We are so different and yet so similar and united," he said in his acceptance speech after taking oath of office in the Central Hall of Parliament. The 71-year-old is the first BJP leader and the second Dalit in the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
