20 Point Tribal Manifesto Launched by AAP Chhattisgarh (English Translation)

At 32% of total population, tribals are the dominant portion of the population in Chhattisgarh. After adding farmers and labourers, it gets to a total of 91% of Chhattisgarh's population. In terms of economic status, 91% of state’s population survive on Rs. 5,000 (or less) per month of average income. People hoped to see an improvement in their financial status when the state of Chhattisgarh was born but their expectations proved to be very far from reality. Their suffering continued as their situation worsened with time. Northern Chhattisgarh is the most naxal affected area and it is sad to see that majority of innocent tribal people across the state are also labelled as naxals, their lands are snatched away from them keeping them deprived of basic facilities. In reality, tribals are the most honest, hard working and peaceful individuals. It all began when a group of people from neighbouring states came to Chhattisgarh and started violence among locals. Tribals were exploited by outside forces and when they resisted, they were labelled as naxals. Over the years, situation has deteriorated as internal government and security forces have also started treating the tribal population as naxalites.

With excellent performance in Delhi, newly born Aam Aadmi Party will be contesting on all seats of Chhattisgarh for the 2018 assembly elections. Tribal leader Komal Hupendi is announced as the Chief Minister candidate. Agricultural scientist & farmer activist Sanket Thakur with Delhi Cabinet Minister Gopal Rai have already built AAP's organization in Chhattisgarh and now they are busy with the election campaigns. Along with state and constituency level agenda, AAP Chhattisgarh team is also preparing separate agendas for tribals and farmers.
