The CM placed a hand on his shoulder and said, “If there is any problem, let me know.” In response to the CM’s question, the victim’s father said, “We work as porters at Kuberi Mandi. I work as a loader on a hand cart.” After this, the CM said, “I was very saddened to see that incident. I apologize because it is my duty, for me, the public is like God.” After this, the CM said, “Let’s have breakfast now.”
Actually, the incident of a tribal youth being urinated upon by BJP workers has heated up the politics of the state. Congress is connecting this issue with tribal dignity. The BJP government of the state is being targeted for crimes related to tribal people that are consistently happening in the state. Congress has also formed a committee of 5 leaders to investigate the matter, which will directly approach today. On the other hand, as per the instructions of the CM, the police have already arrested the accused. Necessary action has also been taken by the NSA against the accused.
