Baripada, May 26: "I have a deep love and respect towards Mayurbhanj. Droupadi Murmu, daughter of Mayurbhanj soil has become the President of India, which is a matter of pride for us. Mayurbhanj, tribals and women are the Prime Minister's Priority. But at a meeting at Baripada Odisha Chief Minister could not say if Murmu was Prime Minister or President, which is very disappointing."

Union Minister Stated this while addressing a Paribartan Samavesh at Morada and holding a roadshow at Baripoada in Mayurbhanj district today. Despite the rains, thousands of people participated in the rallies.
