Oraon claims the rules omit mention of customary laws and social practices, potentially harming tribal communities. He cited past Congress defeats in Chhattisgarh due to similar oversights. Jharkhand BJP chief Babulal Marandi also criticized the government, alleging deception regarding the PESA law's provisions on customary practices and tribal faith.
