In an effort to throw your clean wider in the upcoming Bihar elections scheduled by the end of this year, Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) attempts a rebrand like a “mud” clothing.
In an interview with Hindu MP Lok Sabha and Strategist ARUN Bharti, “Chirag Paswan is the leader of Bahujan and LJP (RV) is the Bahajan side”.
29. June hosted LJP (RV) Bahujan Bhim Sancalp Samagam in Nalanda, the election district of the main Minister Nitisha Kumar. It was the first time a party that was formed three and a half years ago after a division at Lok Janshakti founded by the late Dalitian leader of Ram Vilas Paswan, organized a political program under the banner of the Bahajan, a dragging term that is often used for the coalition of Dalits, tribes and minorities.
Bharti, who justified the transition of being known as Dalit on the Bahuj side, said:
Mr. Paswan recently announced that he would attack the elections to the assembly and found that he would choose a non -reserved chair. Mr. Bharti explained the reason, he said, “Chirag Paswan or Ljp (RV) is not a political clothing of one caste, religion or community. We speak for one and all.”
With the exception of two public opinion polls in 2005 (February and October), a former LJP, led by RAM Vilas, has never received a two -digit share of voting in 2000 since its foundation. According to a survey of Kasta 2022 in the State, Dalits represents an estimated 19.65% of the state’s population.
On the question of whether the repeated remarks of Mr. Paswan and the need to rise over the division of caste ignored the reality of the state, Mr. Bharti said that fragmentation in the voter into different groups suits certain parties, but does not necessarily help voters. “Yes, caste is the truth of society. But we must remember that poverty or disease does not distinguish between different castes or religions,” he added.
Regarding whether Mr. Paswan is the leader of the Dalits and his party is Outfit Dalit, Mr. Bharti said, “We would be in the past … Right now, Chirag Paswan is the leader of Bahajan and LJP (RV) is a behay party and we will be our efforts so that this party can raise CASTE or class.”
LJP (RV) will arrange another round of the assembly in southern Bihar. The focus on the region is intentional, said Mr. Bharti. “There are some regions in Bihar – Shahbad and Magadh – for example, NDA, for example, in Shahbad, out of 22 seats, NDA has gained only two seats (in the last elections to the assembly) NDA,” he added.
