Hyderabad, Feb.15 (RAHNUMA): BJP state chief N Ramchander Rao on Sunday said life of Sant Sevelal Maharaja was closely aligned with the ideologies of the BJP.
Rao participated as chief guest in the birth anniversary celebrations of Sant Sevalal Maharaj organized at the BJP State Headquarters under the leadership of BJP State ST Morcha President Ravi Nayak. He said along with resolve to liberate the nation from foreign dominance, Maharaj dedicated his entire life to the protection of nature and the environment.
He said Sadguru Sant Sevalal Maharaj is the revered deity of the Banjara community, who viewed him as a God who always worked to protects the environment. As a devotee of Jagadamba Mata, his teachings serve as a guiding light for current generations. This is why the tribal community across the country celebrates his birth anniversary with great fervor.
He emphasized that it was the Narendra Modi government that took historic decisions for tribal welfare which include establishment of the Tribal Commission and a dedicated Tribal Ministry, Setting up the Samakka-Sarakka Tribal University in Mulugu to expand higher education in tribal areas, the construction of the Sevalal Maharaj temple in Maharashtra besides allotment of record funds for tribal welfare.
Rao criticized both the previous BRS government and the current Congress government in Telangana for neglecting the development of Thandas (tribal hamlets). He alleged that although Thandas were declared as Gram Panchayats, proper funds were not released and welfare schemes were not implemented. He pointed out that current development in tribal areas is largely possible due to the Central Government’s ITDA funds.
He reaffirmed that the BJP committed to tribal welfare and would always stand by them for their rights and development. On behalf of the BJP, he extended heartfelt greetings to the people of the state, especially to the Banjara and tribal communities.
The event was attended by BJP State Vice President Kalyan Nayak, State Organizational General Secretary Chandrashekhar Tiwari, State General Secretary Vemula Ashok and several senior leaders and party workers.
