President Droupadi Murmu on Tuesday said the country has a government that is ”stable, fearless, decisive”, giving thrust to ‘virasat’ (heritage) as well as ‘vikas’ (development) and working for all classes without any discrimination. In her first address to the joint sitting of Parliament on the first day of the Budget session, Murmu spoke of the government’s relentless fight against corruption, the ”biggest enemy of democracy and social justice”. India by 2047, she asserted, has to be a country that is self-reliant and fulfils its humanitarian obligations. The India of 2047, she said, should have no poverty with the middle class also being prosperous.
