Power or No Power the Adivasi Life remains in Darkness...


What surprises me the most is the comments made by the chief minister Raman Singh and other BJP activists...
The comments like "what do the Naxalites want to achieve by denying the Tribal Villages of Bastar from electricity?"
Has Raman Singh bothered to find out how many villages in Bastar had electricity before this incident happened?Answer is none of the villages have electricity.
Benur which is a Taluk on the road between Kondagaon and Narainpur,even after having a CRPF camp doesn't have electricity for days altogether...
The Government run Salwa Judum camp at Maraiguda,Pollampalli,Chintagufa and others don't have electricity and water...If these places don't have electricity then one can imagine the conditions in remote tribal villages....
So the Chief Minister using the Tribal Villages to hide their incapability to control the situation in Bastar is highly deplorable.
Why is it difficult for the BJP government to admit that because of the current power crises their businesses is getting affected?Essar is getting affected?Sponge Iron units in Raipur and Jagdalpur are getting affected because iron ore is not coming from Bastar and so on.......
Why show concern for the Adivasis when you don't care at all....
