In a series of tweets in Hindi, Shah said Murmu has reached this highest position of the country after fighting against the odds and this shows the immense power of our democracy.

“Coming from a very humble tribal family, NDA candidate Droupadi Murmu’s election as the President of India is a moment of great pride for the entire country, I congratulate her,” he said. The home minister said the victory is a milestone in the direction of realising the resolve of ‘Antyodaya’ and empowerment of the tribal society.
