Congress to safeguard forest, land & water of tribals: Rahul
Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday said his party will safeguard the forests, land and water of the tribals, if voted to power.
He said the standard of living of the poor would also be improved through the 'NYAY' scheme, the party's proposed minimum income guarantee programme.
"We will protect the jal, jungle, zameen (water, forest and land) of tribals," the Congress leader said at an election rally here.
Asserting that the 'NYAY' scheme will act as a "surgical strike" in eradicating poverty from the country, Gandhi said, "A sum of Rs 72,000 per annum will be deposited in the bank accounts of the tribals, the poor, farmers, small traders."
