BJP Lawmaker Criticizes Congress for Ignoring Tribal Heritage on Birsa Munda Jayanti
BJPs Sudhanshu Trivedi condemns Congress for neglecting tribal leaders on Birsa Munda Jayanti, highlighting their divisive politics.
New Delhi, November 15 (Daily Kiran) : Indian lawmaker Sudhanshu Trivedi of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) launched a strong critique of the Congress party during a press conference held on the occasion of Birsa Munda Jayanti. He accused Congress of promoting division and conflict within society, particularly against tribal and forest-dwelling communities.
Trivedi noted the absence of any Congress leader at the commemorative event honoring Birsa Munda, a revered figure known as “Dharti Aaba.” He remarked, “Today, the entire nation remembers Birsa Munda on his birth anniversary, but it is unfortunate that not a single Congress leader came to pay tribute at his statue in Parliament. This illustrates that Congress is only interested in creating division, whether it concerns Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, or any great personalities symbolizing India’s cultural pride.”
He also posed a question to Rahul Gandhi, highlighting the contradiction between Gandhi’s international criticisms of India and the lack of participation from his party in honoring tribal heritage. “While he speaks out against India abroad and spreads misinformation in Hyderabad, he and his party cannot spare even a moment to honor true symbols of our society’s pride,” Trivedi said.
Trivedi emphasized that Congress has historically exploited the sentiments of tribal communities and left them reliant on foreign NGOs. In contrast, he praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership in initiating Tribal Pride Day, stating that the BJP embraces this great tradition. He concluded by asserting that the BJP views tribal and forest-dwelling communities as vital sources of inspiration, contrasting this with Congress’s perceived disdain for Indian traditions and culture.
