Leaders of two prominent tribal outfits, the Adivasi Sengel Abhiyan and the Jharkhand Disham Party, jointly hosted a public meeting at the Gazole College ground in Malda district on Sunday and urged the community to vote against the BJP that according to them had neglected their longstanding demands.
The meeting, which was held in support of Trinamul, was attended by north Bengal development minister Rabindranath Ghosh and former state minister and party leader Madan Mitra.
Altogether, 20,000 people were present at the event that was held at the same ground where Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath had spoken at a public meeting of five days back.
