Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): A tribal MLA from Congress, Dr. Vikrant Bhuria, reached the Madhya Pradesh assembly in traditional attire to take the oath of office on Monday. He was donning the tribal turban, white Dhoti-Kurta, and a black jacket with silver tribal embroidery work.
Beaming with confidence, he said to the Free Press that “we are fighting for the rights of tribals such as Jal, Jungle, and Zameen (water, forest, and land) and will raise our issues strongly in the house."
He added that the other concern for tribals is how to increase their education level and whether their children are getting the coaching facility or not.
