Don't want statue in President House: Tejashwi Yadav takes a dig at NDA's prez pick Droupadi Murmu
India Today
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Saturday mocked NDA's presidential nominee and said that they don't want a statue in the President's House.
On BJP-led NDA fielding Droupadi Murmu as its presidential nominee, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav on Saturday mocked their choice and said that they don't want a statue in the President's House.
"You don't need a 'Murti' (statue) in Rashtrapati Bhawan. You must have heard Yashwant Sinha Ji speaking, but not the Centre's Presidential candidate. Not a single press conference by her since her candidature was announced," Tejashwi said.
Tejashwi Yadav's statement comes in the backdrop of many opposition parties coming in support of Draupadi Murmu.
After Tejashwi Yadav took a dig at Droupadi Murmu ahead of the Presidential election, the BJP spokesperson, Shehzad Poonawalla, called the statement despicable and stated that such comments are being made to insult someone who is poised to become India’s first woman Adivasi President.
Shehzad tweeted, "Congress labels Murmu ji as “evil”.. Puducherry Cong labels her “dummy” & now RJD calls her “statue/murti”. Such despicable adivasi virodhi comments to insult someone poised to be India’s first woman Adivasi President!"
