BJP President Celebrates Tribal Pride as Naxalism Declines in India

Patna, November 15 (Daily Kiran) : Nitin Naveen, the national president of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), paid homage to freedom fighter Birsa Munda on his 151st birth anniversary in Patna. He emphasized that the eradication of Naxalism is a significant achievement for the tribal community.

Speaking to reporters, Naveen extended heartfelt congratulations to all Indians, particularly the tribal population, on this occasion, celebrated as ‘Tribal Pride Day.’ He highlighted the ongoing efforts under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s leadership to foster progress for the community, asserting that these initiatives demonstrate a collective vision for the country’s development alongside tribal people.

Naveen expressed confidence that the commitment to uplift the tribal community is essential for realizing the goal of a developed India. He noted that by 2026, completely eliminating Naxalism would be a matter of pride for these communities.

He reiterated Prime Minister Modi‘s pledge to eradicate Naxalism from regions like Chhattisgarh, Odisha, Telangana, and Jharkhand. The Prime Minister’s recent visit to celebrate Diwali with soldiers in Bastar served as a powerful message that Naxalism has been effectively dealt with.

The BJP president reaffirmed the government’s dedication to integrating tribal communities into the mainstream. He remarked on the transformation of Bastar, which was once known for violence but is now recognized for its contributions to sports.

Naveen also highlighted the significance of President Droupadi Murmu belonging to the tribal community, stating that many leaders from these backgrounds are now guiding various states and the nation.

Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Modi addressed the nation virtually during the Tribal Pride Day event in Gadchiroli, Maharashtra. He pointed out the progress made in combating Maoism, noting that tribal mothers and sisters are now blessing the government for its achievements.

Reflecting on the past, Modi recalled the numerous violent incidents that claimed innocent lives, and how previous administrations neglected those affected by Naxalism. He expressed relief that today, with the decline of Maoism, the tribal community’s mothers and sisters are offering their support to the government.
