'Don't want any statue in Rashtrapati Bhavan': Tejashwi Yadav's dig at Droupadi Murmu
New Delhi/IBNS: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav, who is supporting Yashwant Sinha for Presidential polls, has taken a dig at NDA's pick Droupadi Murmu, saying that they don't want a statue in the Rashtrapati Bhavan.
"We don't want any statue in Rashtrapati Bhavan, we are electing the president. You must have always heard Yashwant Sinha but we have never heard the voice of the presidential candidate of the ruling party," Yadav said.
Tejashwi Yadav said Droupadi Murmu has not held a single press conference after being chosen as the BJP-led NDA's candidate for the presidential elections.
"I don't think even you have heard her," he asked the reporters.
The RJD has already announced its support for Yashwant Sinha, the joint opposition candidate for the presidential poll, to be held on Monday.
The Left and Congress in Bihar have also extended their support for him.
RJD's ally Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), however, said it will back Murmu in the election.
However, with the growing support and the numbers that NDA has, Murmu is set to win the election and become the first tribal woman President of India.
