The issue of conversion in Bastar has also become a reason for defeat for Congress. srinivas Rath says that the
issue of conversion was very hot during the tenure of Congress. The lack of action that was expected from the
congress government in the matter of conversion of tribals and not being able to stop the increasing conversions
and also not being able to provide justice to the converted families is also being considered as a reason for the
defeat. . Violent clash took place in Narayanpur assembly over religious conversion. Apart from this, in the
assembly constituency of PCC President deepak Baij, the dispute between the converted tribals and the original
tribals regarding the burial of dead bodies continued to increase.
Apart from this, the issue of religious conversion also remained heated in Pakhanjoor area of Antagarh assembly,
due to which this is also being said to be the reason for the defeat of Congress. At the same time, officials of
Sarva Adivasi Samaj say that due to resentment with congress, many big leaders separated from the party and
also formed their own party. Although these candidates got success in the elections, the society has also
welcomed the formation of bjp government in the state. One of the reasons for the defeat of the congress is that
there was no hearing on local issues and many old demands during the congress rule.
There is a need for review on the displeasure of tribals-Baij
However, in this matter, PCC President deepak Baij says that during the last 5 years of congress tenure, many
schemes have been implemented for the interests of tribals and these were also implemented. In the last 5 years,
there has been a change in the lives of the tribals and their upliftment has also taken place. Along with increasing
the support price of forest produce, the congress government also launched many schemes for their economic
development. However, despite this, PCC President deepak Baij has said that why congress candidates had to
face defeat in tribal seats and where the mistakes have been made must be reviewed.
