Patna, (Bihar Times): The Lok Janshakti Party has taken a serious view of what it called the Nitish Kumar government’s attempt to divide the Dalits and create friction among them. Commenting on the recommendations made by the Maha Dalit Commission, which submitted its interim report on Tuesday the LJP leader, Pashupati Kumar Paras, said that the Commission had excluded Chamars, Paswans, Dhobis and Pasis from the list of the Maha Dalit because they have not been voting Nitish Kumar. He accused the chief minister of not only dividing the Dalits but also indulging in an unconstitutional act as no where in the country has such categorization of Dalits been made. He accused Nitish of ignoring the interest of Dalits and charged that never in the 60 years of the state history so little representation has been given to the Dalits in the state cabinet. “There are only two Dalits in 28 member cabinet. This speaks of his concern for the Dalit,” Paras said.
