Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Friday launched a scathing attack on the BJP, saying that the BJP wants to confine the tribals to the forests and keep them away from education and other facilities. In his first public meeting in Assam during the Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra, Rahul Gandhi said that 'Congress gave rights to the tribals and being the original inhabitants, it gave them the first right on resources.'

Accusing the BJP government of the state, the Congress leader said that 'BJP wants to confine the tribals to the forests and deprive their children of opportunities to go to schools and universities, learn English and do business. '
'What is yours should be returned to you'
Addressing the tribals in Majuli, the island district of Assam, Rahul Gandhi said, 'We want that what is yours should be returned to you. Your water, land, and forest should remain yours.
