economictimes.indiatimes.com:

Rahul Gandhi on Saturday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asking why he identifies himself as an Other Backward Class (OBC) member when he considers poor as the only caste in the country.
Addressing a public meeting in Jagdalpur of poll-bound Chhattisgarh, he accused the BJP of insulting tribals by referring to them as 'vanvasi' instead of 'adivasi', and said his party will eliminate the term 'vanvasi' from the country.
«BJP leaders use vanvasi term for adivasi in their speeches.

Narednra Modi and RSS have coined this new term vanvasi. There is a huge difference between vanvasi and adivasi terms. In Madhya Pradesh, a BJP leader urinated on a tribal youth and filmed the act then made it viral...This is the mindset of the BJP.

They think that your place is in the forest like animals and they treat you like animals,» he added.
«Have you ever seen BJP leaders urinating on animals? But you have seen them urinating on an adivasi. Adivasi is a revolutionary word...Adivasis mean original owners of the country.

BJP does not use this word because if they do, they'll have to return your land, water, and forests to you,» he said. The word vanvasi is an insult to tribals and Congress will not accept it, he said.
«Earlier, Modi ji used vanvasi word in his speeches but now he avoids this word.

He has changed his words, but he can't change his thinking. His thinking is still to insult tribals,» Gandhi alleged. PM Modi said in his speech that poor is the only caste in the country, he said, «We all know there is Dalit, adivasi, backward in the country.
