Lok Janshakti Party demands dismissal of Bihar Government
New Delhi: The Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) has demanded dismissal of the Nitish Kumar led Government in Bihar. The LJP held
a demonstration in New Delhi on Saturday demanding re-elections in the state.
LJP chief Ram Vilas Paswan, who led the march, accused the Bihar government of
being corrupt and playing divisive politics. The LJP also lashed out at the Nitish
Kumar led Government of dividing the low castes. "This march is against the total
failure of the Bihar government. The government of Bihar is creating rifts within
the Dalit (low-caste) community, instead of working for the development; they
are playing the politics of divide and rule," said Paswan. "They alienated the
Paswan (a low-caste community) and divided the Dalit community. Backwards are
being pitted against the extremely backward. Small Landholders are pitted against
the farmers. This is an inefficient government and we are boycotting the government
and demanding re elections in Bihar , through this march," he added. Paswan also
said that his party would present a memorandum to President Pratibha Devi Singh
Patil over the issue.
