Speaking on the Motion of Thanks on the President's address, Leader of the Opposition in Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, criticized the content of the President's speech. "The President is the most important part of the Parliament, and we respect the President. This year, the President’s first address was in January and the second in June. The first address was for elections, and the second was a copy of it," Kharge stated.
He pointed out that there was nothing in the address for Dalits, minority sections, and backward classes. Kharge also remarked that the address lacked vision and direction, stating, "Like the last time, it was just full of words of appreciation for the government."
