Further, he alleged the condition of scheduled caste people of the country has become ‘worse’ and that Droupadi Murmu should not be symbolized as an ‘Adivasi’ nominee by the ruling party.
“ It’s not about Droupadi Murmu. Yashwant Sinha is also a good and Murmu is also a decent person. But she represents a very evil philosophy of India. We should not make her a symbol of ‘adivasi’. We have president Ram Nath Kovind, Hathras happened. Has he said a word? The condition of scheduled caste has become worse, ” Kumar was quoted by news agency ANI.
