"I was personally against the BJP's ideology. After joining the NDA, I faced severe criticism and was labelled a BJP leader. Yet, I remained with the alliance for the sake of my community. When we joined the NDA in 2016, the BJP promised several projects for tribal people. In the last nine years, none of them have been implemented," Janu said.
