Through his "indecent" comments, Giri has polluted and lowered the standards of politics in the country, Bhatia said. West Bengal BJP chief Sukanta Majumdar said Giri's remark reflected the "anti-tribal" mindset of the Trinamool Congress (TMC). "President Droupadi Murmu hails from the tribal community. Akhil Giri made objectionable comments against the country's president. These comments reflect the anti-tribal mindset of the TMC party," Majumdar said.
