PM Modi trying to ‘cheat’ tribals during poll season: Kharge

Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on January 15 accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of remembering tribals only ahead of elections and said his government is trying to befool the community by changing names of old schemes.

Mr. Kharge also asked why the expenditure on tribals has reduced drastically during the Modi Government.

Mr. Kharge made the remarks after Prime Minister Modi released the first instalment of ₹540 crore to one lakh tribal beneficiaries of a rural housing scheme under the Pradhan Mantri Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM-JANMAN) via video conferencing and said the 10 years of his government have been dedicated to the poor.
