Rewa (Madhya Pradesh): MP Assembly Speaker Girish Gautam said on Monday that the people of the Kols would be provided with water, power and house.
Those who are landless will be given land to build homes, Gautam said.
He made the statement as the chief guest at a conference in the Devtalab area in the district.
There are 20,000 voters of the Kol community who live in 135 places in the district, he said, adding that the candidate they vote for becomes the legislator from the area.
