Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan has taken a jibe at the Congress Party saying that Congress always belittled the tribal people in the state and never respected the tribal leaders.
Mr Chouhan made the remark while speaking to an news agency in the state capital Bhopal on Saturday.
“Congress has always belittled the tribal people. It is the Congress who has never respected tribal leaders. Be it Tantya Mama, Bhima Nayak, Raghunath Shah, Shankar Shah, Rani Durgawati or Birsa Bhagwan, we are building their memorials but the Congress made memorials of people from only one family," Mr Chouhan said.
He further claimed that it was the Congress who stopped the scheme of depositing a monthly aid of Rs 1000 in the account of backward tribal women belonging to Baiga, Bharia and Sahira tribes.
