Alleging that the successive Congress governments in the past neglected the plight of Adivasis in the erstwhile United Andhra Pradesh, the BRS president and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao said the BRS government had built a memorial at Kerameri ghat in Kumram Bheem Asifabad district in memory of the Adivasi martyr Kumram Bheem after the formation of Telangana.
The long cherished dream of tribal people has become a reality with the formation of Telangana and in 2016 our government has carved out a separate district in the name of Kumram Bheem, the great Adivasi leader, who waged a valiant fight for the rights of tribal people with the slogan “Jal, Jangal Zameen”, he said.
Addressing an election meeting in Asifabad town on Wednesday, the BRS supremo said the creation of new district paved the way for effective governance and helped overcome the recurring problem of seasonal diseases, a regular phenomenon in the past.
