The Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha and the Congress party’s president Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday said President Droupadi Murmu’s address to the joint session of Parliament neither had a vision nor offered a direction to the people, and only endorsed Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
“The President’s speech was only about praising Prime Minister Modi and their government. It was a propaganda advertisement for PM Modi, and a political speech,” Mr. Kharge told reporters at his office in the Parliament.
“Maybe the President was directed to speak in such a way that she followed in her one hour and 20 minutes long speech,” the Congress chief added.
