Ranchi, Oct 5 (UNI) Newly appointed Jharkhand BJP in-charge and national general secretary Gajendra Singh Patel on Monday visited Ulihatu in Khunti district, paid tributes to Birsa Munda and met his descendants.
Patel was accompanied by Jharkhand BJP president Aditya Sahu and state co-in-charges Saurabh Singh and Nivedita Singh during his visit to Birsa Munda’s birthplace.
Patel met Birsa Munda’s descendants Sukhram Munda and Budhram Munda and enquired about their well-being.
He said the BJP would strengthen its engagement with the tribal community and expand its organisational outreach to villages.
Patel said issues related to the welfare, rights and development of tribal communities would remain a priority for the party.
He also referred to the Centre’s initiatives for tribal communities and the observance of Birsa Munda’s birth anniversary as Janjatiya Gaurav Diwas.
