CM Yadav lauds MP Minister Vijay Shah for 'commitment to tribals'
Bhopal, Nov 12
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Wednesday appreciated state Tribal Affairs Minister Kunwar Vijay Shah for always coming up with innovative ideas for the betterment of the tribals.
Addressing the inaugural session of a national conference on Janjatiya Gaurv Diwas (Tribal Pride Day), CM Yadav said that Shah, who belongs to the Tribal community, has always stood committed to helping the tribals through his relentless efforts.
Shah would always come out with different innovative ideas to encourage and help Tribal youths, the Chief Minister said.
"Kunwar Vijay Shah, who also comes from the Tribal community, is committed to serving the people from his community. His ideas and experiments surprise me," the Chief Minister said.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Yadav also said that Shah's strong bonding with tribal people has made him a strong leader, and he wins every election comfortably.
"When it comes to the election, Vijay Shah's victory is 100 per cent sure. This type of security is not with anyone (leader)," the Chief Minister said.
Chief Minister Yadav assured all possible support to social organisations working for the empowerment of the tribal community.
He asserted that the state government is determined to work for the welfare of the tribal society.
The conference was organised at Kushabhau Thakre Convention Centre in Bhopal as part of the 150th birth anniversary of Tribal icon Birsa Munda, to be observed on Saturday.
Notably, Vijay Shah (63), who won his first Assembly election from Harsud in Khandwa district in 1990, has remained unbeaten since then and emerged as a prominent Tribal leader in the BJP's Madhya Pradesh unit.
However, recently, he was mired in a controversy for his alleged objectionable remarks on Indian Army Officer Colonel Sofiya Qureshi after 'Operation Sindoor', which sparked a nationwide controversy.

While I appreciate the focus on tribal development, I'm concerned about the recent controversy mentioned. Leaders should maintain dignity in all matters, especially when it involves our armed forces. The good work shouldn't be overshadowed by such incidents.
Excellent initiative on Tribal Pride Day! Birsa Munda's legacy deserves to be celebrated across India. More such conferences should be organized in tribal-dominated areas too. Jai Adivasi! ✊
It's heartening to see tribal representation in government. When leaders come from the community they serve, they understand the real issues better. Hope this translates into concrete benefits for tribal youth in MP.
Undefeated since 1990? That's quite an achievement! But winning elections shouldn't be the only measure of success. The real test is whether tribal communities are actually seeing improvement in their quality of life.
As someone from MP, I've seen some positive changes in tribal areas recently. Better roads, schools, and healthcare facilities are reaching remote villages. Hope this momentum continues! 🌟
