Development is now taking place in 100 aspirational districts which remained backward during the earlier (Congress) regimes, PM Modi said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday targeted the Congress-led regimes in the country for "ignoring" the welfare of tribals, adding efforts are underway to ensure development of regions which remained backward during the "previous" regimes.
"Tribals were not given their dues by the earlier governments and were deprived of basic facilities," Modi said, addressing the Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas celebrations here.
The Central government is celebrating November 15, the birth anniversary of revered tribal icon Birsa Munda as Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas.
"Like Ambedkar Jayanti, Gandhi Jayanti and other similar days, the jayanti (birth anniversary) of Bhagwan Birsa Munda will be celebrated every year on November 15," PM Modi said.
