The state BJP has reacted strongly to the statement made by Sonia Gandhi regarding Her Excellency President Draupadi Murmu.
BJP State President Babulal Marandi said that Sonia Gandhi calling the Her Excellency President, who is adorning the highest post in the country and the daughter of the tribal society, a 'poor lady' is not only highly condemnable, but also exposes her feudal mentality.
He asked, “Sonia ji, why do you hate the tribals so much? Does the Gandhi family consider high constitutional posts to be their birthright?”
“If you cannot respect the tribals, then at least respect the dignity of the post of President?” he questioned. Former Chief Minister Arjun Munda said that the way Congress has commented against President Draupadi Murmu today is absolutely indecent. On one hand, Congress keeps asking for votes from the people with the Constitution, and on the other hand, it is insulting a woman from the tribal society sitting on the highest constitutional post in the country. This is the real character of Congress.
Former Chief Minister Champai Soren said that this is the thinking of the Congress about a tribal woman sitting on the highest constitutional post of the country. This is an insult to the tribal society. Along with this, it is an insult to all women.
This is the character of Congressmen who sometimes remove the tribal religion code, sometimes fire on the protesting tribals. This is their truth. He said that these people can never digest that a tribal woman has reached the highest post in the country. After seven and a half decades of independence, this honour was possible only during the tenure of the Central Government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
He said that the entire country including the tribal society is proud of President Draupadi Murmu. This insult to her will not be tolerated.
