Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has opened up his Dalit card yet again before the assembly elections.
Nitish Kumar ordered in a vigilance meeting under the Scheduled Caste-Tribe Atrocities Prevention Act that if a member of the SC-ST family is killed, then a provision should be made to give a job to a member of the victim’s family.
CM Nitish told the officers to implement this immediately so that the victim’s family can be given benefits.
Talking about statistics, the Dalit class can play a decisive role in getting the key to the power of the state. That is why Nitish Kumar is taking such steps before the election.
Dalit equation of Bihar
According to the 2011 census, Dalit voters have 16 percent participation in Bihar. In 2005, 21 out of 22 Dalit castes were declared Mahadalits by the Nitish Kumar government and in 2018 Paswan also joined the Mahadalit category.
