Gujarat Politicians Clash Over Tribal Leader and Representation
Two politicians are arguing online.
It started when one politician wanted a picture of a tribal leader put up in the Gujarat government building.
The other politician asked why the same thing wasn't done in other states.
The first politician said the other states don't have as many tribal people as Gujarat.
The second politician reminded him that the current government at the center had appointed a tribal person to be President, which the first politician's party had never done.
AAP MLA Gopal Italia and BJP MP Hemang Joshi are in a social media dispute.
Italia demanded a photo of Birsa Munda in the Gujarat Assembly.
Joshi questioned why similar actions weren't taken in Delhi and Punjab.
Italia stated Gujarat has a significant tribal population, unlike Delhi and Punjab.
Joshi highlighted the NDA's nomination of Droupadi Murmu as President.
