Chief Minister Champai Has Received A Letter From Kashif Raza, President of the Azad Samaj Party (K) in Jharkhand State. In it, he demanded that Muslims and Dalits receive tickets to the upcoming Lok Sabha elections based on population.

He stated that Chief Minister Champai Soren recently decided to conduct a caste census in Jharkhand. It would be greatly appreciated. The percentage of Muslims in Jharkhand is fifteen percent, and the percentage of Dalits is approximately thirteen percent.

In Jharkhand, there is only one Lok Sabha seat reserved for Dalits, even though Muslims and Dalits both have a right to two seats each, proportionate to their population. For the past 15 years, Jharkhand has produced no Muslim Members of Parliament. In those seats where Muslim MPs could have won, tickets have not been given to Muslim candidates.

By winning seats held by Muslims and Dalits, members of castes with relatively low population numbers in Jharkhand are becoming MPs. Development for Dalits and Muslims is impossible unless they receive political participation proportionate to their population.

For society to be represented in the modern era and for their representatives to serve as their voice in the house, you are kindly asked to make sure that the Alliance provides tickets to at least two Dalit and two Muslim candidates running for office in Jharkhand in the 2024 Lok Sabha Elections.
