Amit Shah Slams Congress For Treatment Of Tribals In Madya Pradesh's Chhindwara

Union Minister Amit Shah said the former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh Kamal Nath did nothing for the people when he was in power between December 2018 and March 2020.

Chhindwara: Union Minister Amit Shah on Saturday slammed the Congress for its treatment of tribals and the downtrodden and said only the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) can provide security and prosperity to the country and also ensure the welfare of the poor. 

Speaking at a gathering in Chhindwara, a bastion of Madhya Pradesh Congress Chief Kamal Nath for almost 50 years now, Shah asked people to vote overwhelmingly for the BJP in the Assembly polls to be held in the state later this year.

Training his guns on Mr Nath, the Union Minister said the former did nothing for the people of the state when he was Chief Minister between December 2018 and March 2020.

"Previous Congress governments did not care for the tribals, the poor and those from the Other Backward Classes. Only the BJP can provide security, prosperity and ensure welfare of the poor. Prime Minister Narendra Modi cares for the respect of tribals, whom the Congress has neglected for years," Mr Shah said. A woman from the tribal community is now the President of India due to the efforts of PM Modi, he said referring to President Droupadi Murmu.
