Gujarat : Priyanka Gandhi Vows to Declare Tribal Areas as Scheduled Areas
Congress National General Secretary Outlines Nyaya Patra at Dharampur Rally
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, addressing a gathering in Dharampur, Gujarat, pledged to declare tribal-dominated areas as scheduled areas if Congress comes to power. She highlighted the party's Nyaya Patra manifesto, promising progress and justice for all.
Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Congress National General Secretary, delivered a significant address at Darbar Garh Compound in Dharampur, Valsad district, Gujarat, on Saturday. Despite a helicopter breakdown, she arrived at Dharampur by road from Surat airport. Gandhi emphasized the importance of the Congress Manifesto, named Nyaya Patra, which has sparked discussions nationwide.
Gandhi criticized the lack of progress in people's lives over the past decade, highlighting the need for justice. The Nyaya Patra includes various schemes and guarantees, which the Congress intends to fulfill. She affirmed the party's commitment to implementing the Forest Rights Act and resolving lease-related issues within a year. The Congress also plans to implement a sub-plan for SC-ST communities.
One of the key promises made by Gandhi was to declare areas with a significant tribal population as scheduled areas. This designation aims to ensure that these areas receive all necessary facilities and support. Additionally, the Congress intends to set a minimum wage of Rs 400 to prevent exploitation.
Gandhi's speech at Dharampur underscored the party's focus on social justice and inclusive development, particularly for marginalized communities like tribals and SC-ST groups.
