LJP Demands White Paper on Mahadalit Status
PTI | Patna | Nov 21, 2011
Alleging that dalits have been "cheated" in the name of mahadalits,
LJP chief Ram Vilas Paswan today demanded that Bihar government bring
out a white paper on the work done for mahadalits in the state.
"Dalits have been cheated and befooled in the name of mahadalits...We
want a detailed white paper from the state government on the work done
for the uplift of mahadalits in Bihar," Paswan told reporters here.
"We want to know the details as to how many families have actually
been given land... We will raise the issue of the pathetic condition
of mahadalits in Bihar," he said.
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar had promised to provide land to mahadalit
families and bring them under various welfare schemes.
Alleging that the state government was a "failure" on all fronts, the
LJP president said rampant corruption and chaos have gripped Bihar.
"There is talk of commission and bribery at every level... Even the
chief minister decided to scrap the MLA/MLCs Local Area Development
Fund due to commission and corruption," he said and castigated Kumar
for his stand on MPLAD schemes.
Paswan said LJP during its foundation day rally at Gandhi Maidan would
raise the issue of rampant irregularities in land allotment under
Bihar Industrial Area Development Authority.
He also took a potshot at Kumar's Seva Yatra and alleged that it
reflected that RSS was the source of his inspiration.
"Crores of rupees is being spent on Seva yatra and for the comfort of
the chief minister ... It is nothing but a cruel joke for people of
Bihar," Paswan added.
