New Delhi, June 27: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday criticized President Droupadi Murmu's address to the joint session of both Houses of Parliament, saying that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is attempting to gain cheap applause by making the President deliver a speech filled with lies.
“Modi ji is trying to gain cheep applause by making the Honourable President speak lies, which the people of India have already rejected in the 2024 elections” Kharge wrote on his official ‘x’ account.
He further criticized the President’s address asserting that it was scripted by PM Modi’s government, which appeared as an attempt by him to reject the public mandate.
He also highlighted several issues including the NEET paper leak scandal, food inflation, the violence in Manipur, train accidents, and raising atrocities against Dalit, tribals and minorities in BJP ruled states. He said that these issues did not get place in president speech. (ANI)
