Modi govt neglected MP’s Adivasi communities: Congress

The Congress accused the BJP-led Centre on Tuesday of “neglecting” the Adivasi communities of Madhya Pradesh and alleged that the saffron party’s allocation for Adivasis in the central budget has consistently fallen short of the 8.2-per cent target set by the NITI Aayog.

Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh posed questions to Prime Minister Narendra Modi ahead of the latter’s rallies in Madhya Pradesh.

“Why has the BJP failed to improve rail connectivity in MP’s tribal districts? Why are Adivasis unwelcome in ‘Modi ka Parivar’? Why does the Modi sarkar continue to neglect migrant workers?” Ramesh asked on X.
