Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Addressing the tribal communities in Shahdol, PM Narendra Modi paid tributes to Rani Durgavati on Saturday.
He launched Sickle Cell Anemia Mission during the event, with an aim to eradicate the disease--quite common among tribals, by 2047.
Mounting an unveiled attack on Congress, the PM said that the previous government never made an effort to address the tribals' problems. "Of total sickle cell cases worldwide, 50% are from India and mostly among Tribals. Yet, the previous governments in 70 years did not care to address the disease."
