Congress Parliamentary Party Chairperson Sonia Gandhi’s reaction to President Droupadi Murmu’s address has sparked an outrage. While talking to reporters, Gandhi said “The President was getting very tired by the end…She could hardly speak, poor thing.” The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders strongly condemned the statement and called it President’s insult. BJP National President Jagat Prakash Nadda accused the Congress party of displaying an “elitist, anti-poor, and anti-tribal” mindset and demanded an apology.
