Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday attacked the Congress saying that its 'shahi parivar' is hell-bent on driving a wedge in the ST-SC-OBC unity to "snatch reservations under an evil design".

Evil bid to snatch reservation: PM

"The Congress is trying to pit one tribal community against another... Munda against Oraon, Lohra against Kharia, Kharwar against Korwa etc. with an agenda to undermine the tribal society's strength," he said.

Warming up to the theme, PM Modi said the Congress cannot tolerate tribals in higher posts, which is why it had opposed Droupadi Murmu's elevation (to the post of President) and continues to insult her.

The BJP is committed to restoring tribal pride and a 'Jatiya Gaurav Varsh' will be celebrated for one year from November 15 to honour tribal icon Birsa Munda, he said.
