Congress leader Ajoy Kumar on Tuesday kicked up a controversy saying that Murmu represents a "very evil philosophy of India" and should not be made a "symbol of Adivasi". Speaking to ANI , the Congress leader alleged that the condition of the Scheduled Castes has become "worse". "It's not about Droupadi Murmu. Yashwant Sinha is also a good candidate 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 Castes has become worse," Kumar said.
