Recycled ritual, replete with hollow promises: Congress slams Govt after President address in Parliament

Congress leaders criticized President Droupadi Murmu's address to Parliament, alleging it was a recycled speech with no new vision or accountability. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge called the "Viksit Bharat" slogan hollow and questioned the government's commitment to poverty alleviation. Congress general secretary K.C. Venugopal echoed this sentiment, stating the address was a mere repetition of past promises. Manish Tewari, another Congress MP, agreed that the speech lacked vision and demanded the repeal of the VB-G RAM G Act and reinstatement of MGNREGA.
