Pilot accuses BJP in Raj of neglecting tribal areas

Rajasthan Pradesh Congress Committee president Sachin Pilot today accused the BJP government of neglecting the tribal areas of the state.

He alleged that only 16 per cent was spend for the evelopment of tribal under the tribal sub plan in 2017.

Pilot said that despite the BJP being in power, both at the entre and the state, people of the state are not getting any advantage and the development is being affected in the state.

He also targeted the government over rising crime and suicide of farmers.

Pilot said that the home minister admitted that three farmers have committed suicide in the state but the reality is quite different and claimed that more than 100 farmers have taken the extreme step during the BJP rule.

The former union minister was addressing the party workers at 'Mera Booth Mera Gaurav' programme of the party in Udaipur.

Saying that the government is making announcements ahead of the Assembly elections just to "woo voters", pilot asked the party workers to make people aware of it.

He exuded confidence that his party will form the next government in the state.

Senior party leaders Avinash Pande, C P Joshi, Mohan Prakash, leader of opposition Rameshwar Dudi and other leaders also addressed the workers.
