The Congress party criticized President Droupadi Murmu's recent address to Parliament, describing it as overtly political and detached from the everyday experiences of Indian citizens. President Murmu highlighted the government's resolve to revive the economy, overcoming global challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic.
