Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has criticized Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s election speeches as “hollow talk” and accused the BJP of disrespecting the culture and tradition of adivasis. She stated that Modi’s speeches lacked substance and questioned his commitment to serving the people. Gandhi also alleged that President Droupadi Murmu, who belongs to the adivasi community, was not given due respect by the ruling party.
The Congress has accused the BJP-led central government of neglecting Adivasi communities in Madhya Pradesh, alleging that the saffron party’s allocation for Adivasis in the central budget has consistently fallen short of the 8.2% target set by the NITI Aayog. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh posed several questions to Prime Minister Narendra Modi ahead of his rallies in Madhya Pradesh, including why the BJP has failed to improve rail connectivity in the state’s tribal districts and why Adivasis are unwelcome in ‘Modi ka Parivar.’
