Yogi & his connect with ‘vantangiya’ community

Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh), Nov 11 : Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will celebrate Diwali with the Vantangiya’ community, residing in the remote villages under dense ‘Kushmi Forest’, about 90 kilometres from Gorakhpur.
This is what he did in the previous years as well. The community that had been consigned to neglect and poverty for years, had found a friend in Yogi Adityanath and the bond has strengthened over the years.
Adityanath, who visits the community every Diwali, armed with sweets, books, stationery items, and other gifts for the children and villagers, has ensured development of the area after he became chief minister in 2017.
Yogi Adityanath not only ensured them voting rights but also provided them dwellings with all basic and required facilities after he became the chief minister.
The forest-dwelling community had neither land for cultivation nor permission to construct anything other than a hut. Moreover, the community did not even have any evidence on the basis of which they could claim to be the citizen in the largest democracy.
It was again Yogi Adityanath, as MP, who took up their cause and decided to settle health and education services at these places. He effectively prevented Naxalites from establishing a base among the Vantagiyas.
