chief minister Yogi Adityanath said on monday that before bjp came to power, tribals in UP did not have the right to vote and the leftists and missionaries used to brainwash them. At the felicitation ceremony of Shri Guru Gorakhnath health Service yatra 5.0 organized in Lucknow, he said, "Before 2017, tribals did not have the right to vote. There was no ration card and connectivity facility."
He said, "After bjp came to power, all the tribes including Tharu, Musahar, Kol and Gond were provided every facility. Not only this, before this some missionaries and leftists used to mislead the tribal society." He said that in 55 villages, Vantangiya (community) also did not have any rights and this situation was becoming a threat to the security of the nation. He said that even though the country got independence in 1947, before 2017 the forest department and policemen used to exploit them.
Came out to vote for the first time - CM
The chief minister said, 'When the bjp government came in 2017, these villages were recognized as revenue villages and gradually all the schemes were implemented there.' He said that many tribals have come out to vote for the first time in the 2022 and 2024 elections. The chief minister said, 'Now every village has a road, every house has electricity, everyone has got houses. Anganwadi centers have been opened and schools and health centers are being built. Every facility including ration, Ayushman Yojana and pension has reached them.'
Talking about the yatra, he said that such religious yatras are not only a medium of faith but also a means of connecting the society together. The statement said that the program started with Adityanath and chief guest Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh Sarkaryavah Dattatreya Hosabale offering flowers to Lord Shri Dhanvantari, Bharat Mata, Guru Gorakhnath and Swami Vivekananda.
