JAMMU, Apr 14: Senior BJP leader and former Deputy Chief Minister, Kavinder Gupta said that the BJP Government led by Prime Minister, Narendra Modi is committed to welfare of Tribal communities as every effort is being made to uplift this underprivileged section across the country.
The senior BJP functionary was speaking during the joining programme held here, today. During the programme, scores of Gujjar community members joined the party fold under the leadership of Lal Hussain and Yonus. On the occasion, Shashi Vaid, Arun Sharma, Jatinder, Ajay Sharma, Monika and Shakti Devi were also present.
Kavinder said that for the first time in the history of independent India, any Government has done so much for the Tribal community which traditionally craved for the mere basic amenities for all these years under the successive regimes. He cited the unprecedented instance of a Tribal woman becoming the President of the country as an example of the Government’s commitment to Tribal welfare, while protecting their pride.
Citing the example of Tribals living in J&K, he said that the Modi Government has empowered the community by providing many avenues to this marginalized section. He said that the Government is relentlessly making all out efforts to protect the interests of Tribal people, including their land, education and upliftment of their socio-economic status.
He mentioned J&K Government has scripted history by handing over individual and community rights certificates to the beneficiaries of Gujjar, Bakarwal and Gaddi Sippi communities under the Forest Rights Act (FRA), 2006. He also mentioned that it was first time in the history that a good number of seats have been reserved for the Scheduled Tribe community in the UT of J&K, thus making it amply clear that BJP Government has fulfilled the aspirations and expectations of the people as far as the policy of Sabka Saath Sabka Vikas is concerned.
Kavinder said the BJP is “true secular party” that takes care of the aspirations of every community without indulging in “appeasement politics”. He further said that under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi the people of every section of the country feels connected to the nation and BJP party. The BJP is undoubtedly the first and only choice of the people of the country, he added.
