" Tribals and Congress have the same DNA and I trust them the most... If you (Tribals) give us your full support, then no one can stop the Congress from forming the government in Madhya Pradesh. I trust you the most," said the PCC chief while addressing a gathering on the occasion of 'Balidan Diwas' at Manas Bhawan here on Monday.
Nath paid tributes to the tribal martyrs Raja Shankar Shah and Kunwar Raghunath Shah.
