Congress leader Rahul Gandhi journeyed to Balaghat on October 1, aiming to connect with the families of over 30 tribal children who tragically lost their lives due to malnutrition, water scarcity, and inadequate healthcare. The Lok Sabha opposition leader's visit to the district was met with criticism, as Madhya Pradesh Minister Vishvas Sarang accused him of seeking political gain.
Prior to his arrival, Gandhi expressed his intent to reach out to the grieving families, assuring them that they were not alone in their sorrow. He had previously engaged with tribal communities affected by the Ken-Betwa project, highlighting their ongoing struggles with displacement, lack of rehabilitation, and government harassment.
During his campaign in Indore, Gandhi shared the concerns of tribal students who lamented the absence of schools, ruined colleges, subpar hostel conditions, fraudulent examinations, and the suppression of their reservation rights. As Gandhi embarked on his journey from Gondia to Balaghat, he was met with a backdrop of ongoing issues plaguing the area, including the impending submersion of tribal villages due to the Ken-Betwa project.
The Congress MP's visit aimed to shed light on the plight of the affected families and address the systemic issues they face.
