[Mumbai] Modi’s Bihar Cadre Dalit Minister Ram Vilas Paswan Pitches for Reservation in Private Sector He Attacked Bihar Govt Also
Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan today made a pitch for reservation for scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and backward communities in private sector jobs.
Paswan, leader of the Lok Janshankti Party (LJP), said his party feels that private companies, who have been availing benefits from the government, should provide reservation to Dalits in employment.
The Union minister also made a strong pitch for increasing state and Central budgetary allocation for SCs and Scheduled Tribes, in proportion to their population.
Central minister who undertook a tour of Aurangabad in Marathwada region to inaugurate a function to mark 20 months of the NDA government at the Centre, said various initiatives like PM’s Jan Dhan Yojana+Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana + Crop Insurance Scheme, will prove to be ‘Ramban’ (panacea) for the common man.
Asked about his views on the performance of the Nitish Kumar-led government in Bihar, Paswan said, “the present regime there has failed miserably on the law and order front.”
“Jungle Raj has returned in Bihar,” the Union minister said
