Former Chief Minister Kamal Nath said on Tuesday that Shivraj Singh Chouhan government of Madhya Pradesh is pretending to be tribal-friendly in the name of implementing PESA law for tribals. The central government had enacted the PESA law in 2003, but due to the anti-tribal mentality of the BJP government, in the last Since last year this law could not be implemented in the state. Now that the state government has implemented this law, its rules have been made in such a way that the tribals are not going to get any benefit. Why should the rules stop Kamal Nath said that when 750 When the central government made this law, then the then Congress government of the state started the process of implementing it. And the necessary legislative work was being done. But 2003 after the formation of the BJP government in the state, a conspiracy was hatched not to implement the PESA Act.

Other laws will also have to be amended2003 Kamal Nath said that if the BJP government wanted to establish Mahatma Gandhi’s Gram Swaraj and Rajiv Gandhi’s Panchayat Raj on the basis of the sentiments of the tribal society, then the Forest Rights Act, Review and interpret money lending laws, land acquisition laws, panchayat laws, land revenue codes and other relevant laws in their entirety in the light of the Constitution and the PESA law. The Bharatiya Janata Party should give up the mentality of cheating with the tribal community and sincerely respect and do welfare of the tribal community. ,
