Manawar, a tribal constituency with over 80% Bhil population in Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh, is all set to go to polls in the upcoming Assembly elections on November 17. However, the villagers here have been upset with the government - past and present - since their land was taken from them for setting up a cement giant's factory on false promises of jobs. Outlook's Abhik Bhattacharya speaks to the villagers, most of whom are Adivasis, as they narrate how Congress, in its 15 months of government, did nothing for them, and the same was continued by Shivraj Singh Chouhan's BJP government.

00:00 Hello, this is Avik Bhattacharya from Outlook Magazine.
00:02 As you know that we are now here at Manavar constituency
00:06 and the biggest issue of Manavar constituency in Dhar district
00:11 is an ultra-thick cement factory.
00:13 This factory actually started its journey in 2015
00:17 taking land from 32 villages across Manavar constituency.
00:23 Hiralal Alwa, the renowned Adivasi leader over there,
00:27 who actually was connected to JS, became MLA in 2018
00:32 with several promises that when Ultra-Thick Cement Company
00:36 took over the lands of Adivasis,
00:39 he promised that there would be several things that they would get.
00:42 They would get jobs, they would get proper value of the land and other things,
00:46 but nothing happened.
00:47 So today, the land, I'll ask Dinesh to show this whole land.
00:51 It's almost now a barren land.
00:53 It was earlier used to be a kheti for all those people
00:57 and now there is hardly any space left.
00:59 This is actually unused land.
01:02 And Ultra-Thick Cement is not even using this land,
01:05 but still now they are holding this land.
01:07 So I am currently with those people from Manavar constituency
01:12 who have been suffering for years and without getting any job,
01:18 without getting any facilities.
01:20 I'll ask them what are the situations,
01:22 what are the promises that Alu has made and what is the current situation.
01:25 So let's start.
01:26 What is your name and where do you live?
01:28 Sir, I am from Chirakhan Panchayat.
01:30 My name is Kalu Singh Solanki.
01:32 I am from Manavar Vidhan Sabha Chhetra, Chirakhan Panchayat.
01:35 I am from JS team, Manavar.
01:38 So Kalu Singh, please tell us,
01:41 when was this land taken?
01:43 How much land was taken?
01:44 What was said?
01:45 Why did you take the land?
01:47 From 2016.
01:48 Did you take the land from 2016?
01:51 I took it from 2016, sir.
01:53 And I had given Rs. 20 lakhs per hectare from the company.
01:58 Some Chhetra leaders came here.
02:01 We had also held a meeting here in 2017.
02:05 They had shown us dreams that they will give you a house for Rs. 9 lakhs.
02:11 They will give you employment from every house.
02:14 They will give you all the facilities from the company in education, health, etc.
02:20 But now 5 years have passed.
02:22 But neither did anyone from the company get a job, nor did anyone get a job.
02:28 All are foreigners.
02:30 All are Bihar's contractors.
02:33 There are no contractors here.
02:34 The car, horse, everything is from their land.
02:36 There is no one here.
02:37 Why did you give the land?
02:40 Please tell us your name first.
02:41 I am Santosh Achaly from Chirakhan.
02:44 See, people came here and gave the land for free.
02:48 What was the situation?
02:50 They said that they will give you a job, employment.
02:55 And they will give you land from every house in the company.
03:00 But no one got a job.
03:03 The roads are being built in Alta Tek.
03:07 The roads are not being built in Alta Tek.
03:10 There is a lot of movement in the village.
03:12 This road is also raw.
03:14 The assembly has built a road from Chitapuri to Alta Tek.
03:20 But the road is not being built.
03:22 The politicians are not looking at the road.
03:24 They come in the elections and run away.
03:27 No one is paying attention to the rest.
03:30 What is your hope this time?
03:33 Hiralal Lalwa is a running MLA.
03:35 Are you supporting Vajpa or the Aam Aadmi Party?
03:40 I will not support either party.
03:44 Because I am a JSK team.
03:47 All the people who work for us have made us fools.
03:55 I will support the Aam Aadmi Party or Nirdali.
04:00 I will support the Aam Aadmi Party or Nirdali.
04:09 Hiralal Lalwa was a tribal leader.
04:13 He was the main national security.
04:15 Did you try to talk to Lalwa?
04:19 No.
04:20 He came here only during the elections.
04:24 He did not even talk about tribal issues.
