The Congress on Thursday slammed President Ram Nath Kovind's address to the joint sitting of Parliament as a mere "repeat of words" of the last five years.
Senior party leader Anand Sharma commented on the President's address and said, "The President's address was a repeat of words, high sounding words which Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government are very fond of."
