Congress leader P. Chidambaram on Thursday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of being racist by bringing in skin colour in the poll debate, and said the Opposition's support to Yashwant Sinha in the presidential election was not based on the colour of skin.
In a post on X, he said in the last election to the office of President of India, there were two candidates — Droupadi Murmu and Mr. Sinha.
While the BJP and its allies supported Ms. Murmu, he said 17 Opposition parties, including the Congress, supported Mr. Sinha.
