Kuruba and Koli communities from Karnataka should be included in the Scheduled Tribe (ST) list, Kalaburagi BJP MP Umesh Jadav said in Lok Sabha on Friday.

People from these two communities have been holding protests all over Karnataka demanding them to include in the ST list, he said.

These two communities' people are very backward both economically and socially. If they were included in the ST list, it would help them to get reservation benefits in both education and employment, he said.
