The Congress accused the BJP of 'systematically' planning to terminate reservations and orchestrating a tribal crisis, following the demand for a high-level probe as to why 'no' tribal person was selected in the Madhya Pradesh Civil Judge Exam 2022 despite the prevailing quota.
The party also strongly demanded the withdrawal of the 2022 Civil Judge exam.
Chairman of Adivasi Congress, Vikrant Bhuria, said, "In this exam, 121 seats were reserved for tribals, but not even one was selected. As per the existing rules, seats that remain vacant for several years are moved into the open category. In other words, this is a systematic way to end the reservation."
He also asserted that there are over 2 crore tribals in Madhya Pradesh, yet the result of the Civil Judge Exam 2022 reflects that the BJP and its system couldn't find even a single tribal capable of holding the post.
He accused the BJP of creating a tribal crisis in the country, grabbing away their land and not providing them with justice.
"The BJP government is orchestrating the Great Indian Tribal Crisis across the country. Under BJP rule, tribal communities are being devastated. Tribal people are not receiving justice and are struggling even to preserve their identity. The lands of tribal communities are being seized," he alleged.
Bhuria also said that Singrauli in Madhya Pradesh has been turned into a cantonment as trees are being continuously felled for the benefit of top corporate houses.
He said that notices are being sent to thousands of tribals, and they are being sent out from the district. "This is an open violation of the PESA law and the Forest Rights Act," he alleged.
He also sought the creation of a migrant policy for tribals.
The Congress leader also alleged that the implementation of the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in haste has created the most harm to tribals.
