CPI (ML) Liberation General Secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya on Friday alleged that the Nitish Kumar government in Bihar is giving SC and ST status to castes for electoral benefits. Addressing a press conference, the leftist leader accused the Chief Minister of “cheating” people, causing “unrest” spreading in the society.
Bhattacharya claimed, “There is a small caste group called ‘Maan’ in Bihar. Nitish Kumar ordered him to be classified as Scheduled Castes, while he was well aware that doing so is the privilege of the center. The order could not face the judicial inquiry, but the CM is happy that he got the election benefit. “
He said, “Nitish Kumar cheated the ‘blacksmiths’ by giving ST status. In this way he is cheating the society by disturbing.” He also claimed that the “faithful” people towards the BJP had challenged the increase in reservation in the state in the court, and the JD (U) supremo remained just a “mask” for the saffron party, which seems to be the decision She is taking herself
The CPI (ML) L leader said, “The need for caste census across the country and to protect the increase in quota for tribals, Dalits and backward classes in Bihar. The schedule should be proposed to include the reservation by which reservation was increased by 65 percent.
He believes that before the Bihar assembly elections to be held later this year, the BJP can try to divert public attention by provoking “Hindu-Muslim debate”, besides manipulating the voter list as we have in Maharashtra and Recently seen in Delhi “. However, Bhattacharya also expressed confidence that “Bihar will not go on the road to Uttar Pradesh, and people here will vote for free electricity and allowances for women like Jharkhand”.
“I recently visited the Seemanchal region and found that people were craving for change. The Left leader claimed that he was fed up with the apathy of the government, who would shamelessly use the police to suppress all disagreements. It is. Without naming RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, CPI (ML) L. General Secretary said that women will resonate in Bihar and 400 units of free electricity, where one -third of the population spent less than Rs 6,000 per month Does “.
Bhattacharya postponed a question on RJD President Lalu Prasad, who recently expressed his wish that his son and successor Yadav should be made the next Chief Minister. He said, “It has not yet been discussed in the ‘Grand Alliance’. When the time comes, we will talk and a decision will be taken jointly. ” Bhattacharya also targeted the Narendra Modi government at the Center over the exile of 104 Indian citizens from the US.
He said, “The Trump administration handcuffed our countrymen as if they were criminals. Our own foreign ministers are defending this insult. A small country like Columbia did not allow the US to be treated with itself. “Bhattacharya said,” Even the Union Budget has taken into consideration American interests rather than the welfare of our own people. The matter of income tax exemption is a gimmick. A large part of the population does not have enough income to be taxed on it. “
