BJP Criticizes Congress for Absence at Birsa Munda Jayanti Event
BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari slams Congress for skipping the Birsa Munda Jayanti event, accusing them of disrespecting tribal communities.
New Delhi, November 15 (Daily Kiran) : BJP national spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari has launched a scathing attack on the Congress party for its absence at the Birsa Munda Jayanti event held in Parliament. He accused Rahul Gandhi and the Gandhi-Vadra family of harboring deep-seated animosity towards tribal and forest-dwelling communities.
In an interview, Bhandari stated, “The boycott of the event commemorating Lord Birsa Munda by Rahul Gandhi and the Congress party demonstrates their disdain for tribal communities. Recall that Sonia Gandhi previously referred to a tribal president as a ‘poor lady.’ Rahul Gandhi finds time to meet with George Soros’s agents in Hyderabad to incite anti-national slogans, yet he cannot attend a program honoring Birsa Munda, a revered figure for tribal communities and an inspiration for all Indians.”
Bhandari emphasized that this behavior indicates that Rahul Gandhi considers himself and his family to be above the respect owed to tribal society. He pointed out that while Gandhi often carries a copy of the Constitution, he fails to acknowledge it when it comes to honoring Lord Birsa Munda. The Congress party’s absence at the event, which was part of the Tribal Pride Day celebrations in Parliament, clearly reflects their contempt for brothers and sisters from tribal and forest communities.
Earlier, BJP MP Sudhanshu Trivedi expressed disappointment during a press conference, stating, “It was unfortunate to see that not a single Congress leader arrived to pay tribute at the statue of Lord Birsa Munda. This shows that whether it concerns Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, or any great personality representing India’s cultural pride, Congress’s agenda is only to sow division and discord within society.”
