Senior Congress leader said that Shivraj government celebrated Adivasi Gaurav Diwas in presence of PM Narendra Modi and presented a rosy picture of the tribal people in the state but Modi government’s report on Shivraj government shows a clear picture.
There is a possibility of BJP losing the polls in 2023 due to the farmers' protest. In 2018, the BJP had to face defeat in most of the Assembly seats reserved for the tribals.
By renaming railway stations, bus stands and convention centres, the ruling BJP is catering to tribal communities and political audiences within the party; and, according to critics, also covering up for the ‘dearth of development’ in the past one year
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan laid the foundation stone of the work of installing the statues of Gond tribal king Shankar Shah and Raghunath Shah, who were blown to pieces by the British on September 18, 1857 after they revolted during the first freedom struggle.
Chouhan said tribes in the country and Madhya Pradesh have a glorious past and tribal heroes played a very important role in the freedom struggle. The British had made all efforts to end the pride of our tribes. The state government will restore that pride, he added.
