Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan while inaugurating the first convention of the newly constituted Madhya Pradesh Backward Class Morcha of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) here on Thursday said, “Deprived, backward, poor and dependants have first right over State Government resources. MP Government has decided to do public honor of the great people of the backward class. This would set new paragon of serving in the community.”
Chouhan further said that every year eight male and eight female great personalities of backward community would be honored in a public facilitation program. Congratulating the people of the state for providing historic victory to the BJP in assembly, parliamentary, civic and cooperative elections the chief minister said that our work is to provide relief and peace to the people besides bringing smiles on the faces of needy.
BJP national vice president and state in-charge Vinay Sahasrabuddhe said that post independence schedule castes and schedule tribes were compensated by providing reservation to them for the excesses committed on them but the backward classes remained neglected in between these classes and upper castes. They need social justice and to bring them on the track of development of social grounds is a serious challenge, he added.
National president of the Morcha SP Singh Baghel, Madhya Pradesh president and MP Nandkumar Singh Chouhan, state
organisational general secretary Arvind Menon, senior ministers of the state cabinet Kusum Mehdele and Antar Singh Arya also addressed the convention.
Morcha state president Pradeep Patel welcomed all the guests and said that Governments were formed in the state and the country since independence but the backward classes were ignored on political levels.
