Patna: Lok Janshakti Party supremo Ramvilas
Paswan today called for ensuring reservation for
`economically-backward` people among the upper castes.
"We stick to the demand for ensuring reservation for
the economically-backward among upper castes in jobs," Paswan
told reporters, while ridiculing Chief Minister Nitish Kumar`s
announcement that his government would give either three
decimal of land or Rs 20,000 in cash to each dalit family.
"We will like Kumar to publish a list of the dalits,
who have received benefits under the scheme," he said.
The LJP supremo also said that his party would ensure
reservation for economically-backward among upper castes and
provide one bigha of land for each dalit family, if voted to
power in the 2010 assembly polls.
