Union Minister of State for External Affairs V. Muraleedharan has criticised the State government for neglecting the welfare of the tribespeople and the marginalised.
Inaugurating a three-day State camp of the BJP on Ahalya Campus at Kanjiode, near here, on Friday, Mr. Muraleedharan asked if Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan had met the tribesman in Attappady who had walked a long distance carrying his dead child.
“When Prime Minister Narendra Modi was selecting a President from the tribal community, what is Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan doing for the tribespeople and the marginalised sections in the State?” he asked.
