The nomination of an Adivasi for the Presidential post by the BJP comes after the party chose a Dalit for the top post in the previous elections. Adivasi women are one of the most unrepresented and oppressed sections of India. With Assembly elections in바카라 웹사이트Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh --- the four states with a total of 128 seats reserved for Scheduled Tribes --- scheduled in the next 18 months, the BJP may make significant inroads into the constituency. The BJP, which managed to win just 35 of these seats in the last Assembly elections, is expecting a major gain.바카라 웹사이트
