PM Modi attacks Sonia Gandhi: 'Royal family of Congress insulted President'

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday slammed Congress veteran Sonia Gandhi over her 'poor thing' remark for President Droupadi Murmu, saying the "royal family" insulted "a tribal daughter".

"Droupadi Murmu ji has come here from a tribal family. Her mother tongue is not Hindi, it is Odia. She wonderfully inspired the Parliament today and gave a speech. But the royal family of Congress has started insulting her. A member of the royal family said that the tribal daughter gave a boring speech. Another member went one step further and called the President a poor thing. They find the speech of a tribal daughter boring," PM Modi said at a political rally in Delhi.
