Speaking at a program in Raipur to mark Tribal Pride Day, Netam praised Modi as an unparalleled leader who has transformed the lives of tribal communities across India.
"No leader ever listened to our problems before," Netam stated.
"Blessed is the land that gave birth to an avatar like Narendra Modi. He is deeply concerned about the tribal community and has launched several schemes for our upliftment. The 'Dhartii Aaba Tribal Village Upliftment Campaign,' initiated by the Prime Minister, will ensure the holistic development of 6,500 villages and their residents in Chhattisgarh."
Netam's remarks have provoked fierce backlash from the Congress party, which accused him of sycophancy and disrespecting tribal traditions.
