New tribal party formed in MP

BHOPAL: With the Assembly polls in Madhya Pradesh drawing closer, a new tribal political outfit - Aadijan Mukti Sena (AMS) - has been formed to contest elections from the western part of the state.

"We have registered our party with the Election Commission last week with an object to create political awarness among tribals," AMS state President Vijay Narayan Singh said.

The party would field 25-30 candidates from Dhar, Khandwa, Mhow and other places, adding they would announce the name of their candidates in two or three days, he said.

Singh said his party had got leaders from Bhil, Bilala, Korku and other tribes.

He said tribals in the state were being exploited because they lacked political awareness and leadership. Already, two tribal political parties, the Gondwana Gantantra Party (GGP) and its breakaway group Gondwana Mukti Sena (GMS), having a bearing over tribals in eastern MP, are contesting the polls.

In the last Assembly polls held in December 2003, the GGP had won in three assembly segments in eastern MP.
