Madam President
It should be a matter of great pride and satisfaction that Droupadi Murmu, an unassuming lady who has worked hard, is now the President-elect of the Indian Republic. Her record as the Jharkhand Governor should reassure us that she may not be a mere “rubber stamp” President. Her firm stand in the context of the contentious amendments to the Chhotanagpur Tenancy Act 1908 and the Santhal Pargana Tenancy Act, 1949, was what helped her become known as the “people’s Governor”.
