Recently in the assembly, the state government declared that “it was not possible” to set a time limit to the promise, he said.
Is this “Modi ki guarantee” or yet another “chunavi jumla (election rhetoric), Ramesh asked. Ramesh said the BJP promised a budget of Rs 3 lakh crores for tribal welfare in the Madhya Pradesh elections.
“To the contrary, the last few months have seen an increase in incidence of atrocities on Adivasi in Madhya Pradesh. Just a few days ago, after Modi’s rally in Jhabua, ruling party workers brutally abused and beat an Adivasi youth in Betul. Does the Prime Minister have any vision for Adivasi welfare and social justice?” he said.
“Pradhan Mantri ji, enough with the jumlas, it is time to answer the people now,” Ramesh said.
Congress general secretary, organisation, K C Venugopal said, “15 years ago, the UPA announced a historic Rs. 60,000 crore nationwide farm loan waiver which brought immense relief to all the Annadatas across India.”
