The Chief Minister stated, “February 17 was observed as the birth anniversary of revolutionary Veer Budhu Bhagat. I was on a journey to Delhi on that date. Due to this, I could not attend the celebration. I sincerely apologise to all of you for this. I am very pleased to be among the Oraon community today. You all have welcomed me warmly, and I will remain grateful to all of you. I am very happy to meet all of you. I am one of you”. He shared that the Oraon community has a glorious history.
