Taking to his official Twitter account, Raj,the Chairman of the Unorganized Workers & Employees Congress also said that "no country should get a President like Droupadi Murmu. "No country should get a President like Droupadi Murmu ji. 'Chamchagiri' also has its limits. She says 70 per cent of the people eat Gujarat's salt. She will get to know once she starts living by consuming salt only," Udit Raj said in a tweet in Hindi. Earlier this week, President Murmu during her address had noted in a civic reception hosted by the Government of Gujarat in her honour that the state produces 76 per cent of the country's salt and added on a lighter that "the salt produced in Gujarat is consumed by all Indians. After a criticism over his tweet that disregards to the President of India, Raj said on Thursday that his statement on Droupadi Murmuji is his personal view and has nothing to do with Congress. Besides he said,"My statement as regard to Droupadi Murmuji is my personal view. It has nothing to do with Congress. Her candidature & campaign were in the name Adivasi, it doesn’t mean she is no longer Adivasi. My heart cries that when  a person from the SC/ST reach to higher position, they ditch their communities & become mum," he added.
