NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday extended his support to tribal residents of Bundelkhand who are holding a Satyagraha against the Ken-Betwa River Link Project in Madhya Pradesh, demanding adequate compensation and rehabilitation.
In a post on X, Gandhi said he and the Congress party stood with the protesting tribal residents, “In this fight of our tribal brothers and sisters, I and the Congress stand with them.”
He shared the accounts of the tribal residents and said, “The problems, demands, struggles, and personal ordeals of the tribal brothers and sisters who are carrying out a satyagraha against the Ken-Betwa project–their own account.”
“For years, these residents of Bundelkhand have been enduring injustice and oppression solely for their rights; they deserve respect and support,” Gandhi said.
