Cong an anti-Ezhava party: Natesan
SNDP Yogam
general secretary
Vellappally Natesan
stated that the
Congress party
has turned into an anti-Ezhava party for some time now. In an article written on the occasion of the 90th anniversary of the famous '
Kozhenchery speech
' of C Kesavan, the Yogam general secretary said that the change in the state leadership of the Congress party is a clear picture of the neglect the
Ezhava community
is facing. The representation of the Ezhava community in the opposition in the state has reduced to a single person, he said.The Yogam's constant raising of voice for the backward classes is infuriating political parties and some community organisations.
They are waiting for a chance to ruin the SNDP Yogam, he said. The upper caste and minorities are standing together to grab the key positions in the govt sector while the Ezhavas are ruining themselves by fighting each other, Natesan added.

Oppn corners govt over patta promise to tribals; Let's sit & sort it out, says CM
Bhopal: Participating in the debate over a call attention motion moved by Leader of Opposition in the state assembly Umang Singhar seeking to draw attention of the state govt towards large-scale rejection of applications for patta for land under Tribal Rights Act, 2006, by tribals, CM Mohan Yadav said that he was prepared to sit with the Opposition MLAs to sort out the issue. Raising the issue, Singhar said that more than 2.3 lakh applications from tribals for patta on the land of their habitation has been rejected in MP and the state stands second in the entire country in rejecting the application for patta by the tribals. He cited the example of Nepanagar where application for patta from more than 3,000 tribals has been rejected and the forest staff was stopping them from farming on the land they have been in possession for years. Minister of state for forest, Dileep Ahirwal in his written reply to the call attention motion, said that under the Act, 2.3 lakh tribals, who were in possession of forest land before 2005, have been given ownership right over 3.7 lakh hectare forest land and it was not true that the forest department was indiscriminately rejecting the claim of tribals over land of their habitation. CM Yadav said that the state government proposes to make the data of tribals in possession of forest land before 2005 available online. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Undo Senior Congress MLA Ajay Singh said that the state govt should carry out a survey again to verify claims of 68,000 claims, which have been rejected.
