Former Union minister and well-known tribal chief Arvind Netam has a protracted historical past of affiliation with the Congress celebration and has been instrumental in advancing the considerations of tribal teams. The new celebration, led by the Sarva Adivasi Samaj, claims to supply tribal populations with a discussion board to precise their points and objectives.

The former Union minister, who served within the PV Narasimha Rao and Indira Gandhi administrations on the Union Cabinet stage, has already began the method of forming a brand new political group. Netam, a member of the Sarva Adivasi Samaj, had beforehand said that the brand new celebration would put up candidates for at the least 50 meeting seats within the forthcoming elections for the 90-member state legislative meeting.
The Chhattisgarh Sarva Adivasi Samaj fielded its personal candidate, Akbar Pam Korram, within the by-election for the Bhandupratappur (ST) meeting seat in December of the earlier yr, and he obtained greater than 23,000 votes.
