Panchayat Raj Minister Danasari Anasuya (Seethakka) unveiled a statue of Adivasi martyr Kumram Bheem in Aswaraopeta, Bhadradri Kothagudem, on Sunday, marking World Tribal Day. She urged tribal youth to use educational and skill development opportunities to build a bright future. The Minister recalled Bheem's slogan of 'Jal, Zameen, Jungle' and called for preserving Adivasi culture. She said the state government has initiated development works worth ₹1,200 crore in the Aswaraopeta constituency. Later, she inaugurated a women's sangham building and laid foundation stones for other projects.
The ₹1,200 crore figure for Agency Area development sounds impressive, but tribal communities have long heard promises of 'Jal, Zameen, Jungle' rights without seeing land titles or forest access improve. The real test is whether these funds translate into jobs, schools, and healthcare, not just statues and building inaugurations. Will the government publish a district-wise expenditure report within six months?
