Different reactions to two separate accidents in a span of four days have shown true face of ruling party politicians in Rajasthan.
Different reactions to two separate accidents in a span of four days have shown true face of ruling party politicians in Rajasthan.
Ministers and local MP immediately rushed to the spot when two days ago when three persons were killed after false ceiling of banquet hall in a posh hotel of the city fell over guests attending pre-marriage ceremony involving two wealthy families from Mumbai and Surat.
But, it took five days to social justice and empowerment minister Arun Chaturvedi and MP Ramcharan Bohra to visit the families of two deceased Jethanand and Bishandas. They handed over Rs 50,000 cheque each to these families from chief minister’s relief fund.
Ironically, they have still not visited the auto driver Kailash Chand Bairwa who was also killed in the accident. “Why this discrimination Is it because Kailash is a dalit,” asked an angry P.L. Meemroth, chief executive of Centre for Dalit Rights (CDR).
While, the government has granted widow pension to wife of Bishandas and also agreed to bear expenses of his three children under “palanhaar” scheme, there is not a single penny sanctioned for the family of dalit Kailash Chand, Meemroth alleged adding that forget the money, no person from the government even visited Kailash Chand’s house to console his family that including his parents and wife.
“Unke liye toh Ram ke saath saath Raj bhi rooth gaya. (Not just god but the state too has failed them),” he rued.
The dalit forum has demanded immediate of compensation to dalit auto driver’s family that included Rs 50,000 from CM relief fund, Rs 2 lakh sanctioned by the district collector of Jaipur and free education for his children.
