In a rallying cry for tribal empowerment, Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted the BJP’s unwavering commitment to uplift the tribal communities in Madhya Pradesh.
Speaking fervently in Seoni district, situated in the pivotal Mahakoshal region where tribal votes hold significant sway, Modi emphasized the party’s dedication to the welfare of tribals who were overlooked by previous Congress administrations.
Out of Madhya Pradesh’s 230 assembly seats, 47 are reserved for Scheduled Tribe candidates, underscoring the importance of tribal representation. Modi accused the Congress of neglecting the tribal populace during its decades-long rule, asserting that the BJP stands as the champion of their cause.
He showcased the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojna, a program providing free ration to 80 crore impoverished individuals, as a testament to the BJP’s commitment to social welfare.
Modi assured the extension of this initiative for the next five years, emphasizing the government’s dedication to eradicating hunger and poverty.
Addressing the Congress’s alleged corruption and internal discord, Modi criticized the party’s divisive tactics, contrasting it with the BJP’s focus on unity and development. He praised the BJP’s historic move of establishing a dedicated ministry for tribal welfare, a testament to the party’s cultural inclusivity and commitment to tribal progress.
Modi highlighted the celebration of Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas (Tribal Pride Day) on November 15 each year as a symbol of the BJP’s respect for tribal heritage.
Furthermore, Modi debunked the Congress’s claims of affordable mobile phones and data services, attributing the lowered costs to the BJP’s policies, saving citizens substantial money.
He pointed to initiatives like Janaushadhi Kendras, offering an 80% discount on medicines, and subsidized urea for farmers, showcasing the BJP’s multifaceted approach to improving citizens’ lives.
With an eye on the future, Modi expressed confidence in the BJP’s ability to secure a third consecutive term at the Centre and reiterated the party’s commitment to accelerating development in Madhya Pradesh, ensuring a brighter and more inclusive future for all its residents.
