Congress leader Ragini Nayak on Sunday expressed her concern about the state of the tribals in Madhya Pradesh. She said that the tribals, who constitute 22 per cent of the population, were facing atrocities and exploitation. She urged them to use their power in the upcoming assembly polls to uproot the current BJP government in the state.
Nayak highlighted how Rahul Gandhi has continuously emphasised the need to recognise tribals as the original inhabitants of the country and the first owners of the land. She said that despite this, the BJP was calling them ‘vanvasi’ and confining them to jungles. She also spoke of the Kamal Nath government’s decision to announce a holiday on World Tribal Day on August 9, which was subsequently scrapped by Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan.
In addition, Nayak brought attention to the Sidhi urination incident that made national headlines in July. She promised that the Congress would deliver the tribals from hardship, exploitation and atrocities if voted to power in the state.
Nayak concluded her statement with a rallying cry to the tribals. She said, “I want our 22 per cent tribal brothers and sisters to show the door to Shivraj Singh Chouhan.” She urged them to use their power to bring about a change in the state and ensure that their voices are heard and their rights are protected.
