Rahul Gandhi says BJP is anti-tribal
The yatra is currently stationed in Jharkhand, where Champai Soren’s newly formed government passed a floor test in the Jharkhand Assembly on Monday. To date, the yatra has travelled across five states, primarily by bus.
In his remarks following the alliance’s victory in the floor test, Rahul Gandhi attacked the BJP, accusing it of being anti-tribal.
“Hemant Soren ji said a very touching thing in the Assembly today, “When we came out of the forest, sat next to them, their clothes got dirty”. This is not just a statement, it is the pain of the entire tribal society. The BJP is not tolerating the fact that there is a tribal Chief Minister in the state. Today Jharkhand has given a message to the entire country that the power of the people cannot be subdued by intimidation. This is a victory for the unity of the poor and the tribals, congratulations to all of you” Rahul Gandhi stated.
