New Delhi, 6/10: Congress leader Udit Raj stoked a controversy after he tweeted that ‘no country should get such a President’ referring to President Droupadi Murmu. After facing flak from BJP leaders, Raj clarified that the statement had nothing to do with Congress.
The BJP on Thursday lashed out at the leader, terming his comment on President Murmu as “worrisome” and “unfortunate”.
“Words used for President Murmu by Congress leader Udit Raj worrisome, unfortunate. This isn’t the first time they’ve used such words. Congress’s Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury did it too. This reflects their anti-tribal mindset,” BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra said.
