Hailing from the tribal community, they do not possess any government documents as proof of identity. Several families in the Kurunga, Muchia and Bargadi villages are associated with this movement.They consider Kunwar Kesari Singh of Gujarat to be their ‘Sarkar’ (government) and do not follow the country’s laws. After Kesari Singh’s death, his son Ravindra Gaamith manages the “AC Bharat Sarkar” and “misleads” the tribals of Khunti by encouraging them to boycott the government by running AC Kutumb school in the region, sources say.Surendra Singh Munda, a Rozgar Sevak in Arki Block, said, “These villagers of Kurunga, Muchia and Bargadi are being misled due to non-implementation of Provisions of the Panchayats (Extension to the Scheduled Areas) Act, 1996 (PESA Act).”He went on to say that under the influence of Gujarat’s Kesari family, these people have become anti-constitutional.Local residents claim that the situation has arisen due to a lack of schools in the region and demanded that the schools closed in the name of a merger, be reopened.
