Ashwin Kotwal, tribal MLA of the Congress and chief whip of the opposition party in the assembly, mentioned, “The BJP has planned to come out with new name of Van Bandhu Kalyan Yojna – II just to mislead tribals before 2022 assembly elections. If BJP’s claim of spending Rs 96,000 crore for tribal development is true, then why are a majority of the tribals still living under poverty line? Why are tribal areas still lacking basic health and education facilities?”
Opposition party member also alleged that, “BJP is diverting mandatory tribal sub-plan money for so called roads, irrigation and other construction work only. The government has spent very little for the direct welfare of the tribal population”.
