Nitish Govt 'conspiring' to deprive Dalits of vote rights: LJP

Patna : The LJP on Monday accused the Nitish Kumar government of
"conspiring" to deprive poor and Dalits of their voting rights and
urged the Election Commission to take necessary steps to ensure their
participation in the polls.
"We have definite information that 30 per cent of the EPICs
distributed among the voters here for the 2010 Assembly polls are
fake... and NDA is behind it," an LJP delegation-led by its state
president Pashupati Kumar Paras complained to the Chief Electoral
Officer of Bihar.

Later, Paras said the state's NDA government had "conspired" with the
officials of its choice in the district to deprive Dalits and poor of
their voting rights by forging EPICS.

"We submitted a petition to the Commission seeking to take necessary
steps to ensure that no poor and Dalits, besides other sections of the
society are deprived of their fundamental right to vote," he added.
