LJP recognizes that unemployment is a burning problem for crores of our youth in rural as well as urban areas.

LJP strongly believes that despite its tall claims of providing good governance, the Nitish Kumar government has completely failed to provide protection to the weaker sections in Bihar. The recent incident of brutal killing of four Muslims and an advasi in Purnia has exposed the failure of the government to provide basic safety and security to the vulnerable sections of society. LJP demands that the culprits be brought to book and the victims’ families should be given immediate and adequate compensation. LJP also demands that the report of Bandopadhyay Commission on land reforms legislation should be made public and implemented in right earnest. |

LJP believes that the Nitish Kumar government has divided the scheduled castes in Bihar into Dalits and Maha Dalits not with the intention of benefiting the Maha Dalits but to ultimately remove the fighter castes of Paswan (Dussadh) and Ravidas (Chamar) from the list of scheduled castes in the long run. The LJP demands that the Vishwmohan Rishi Commission Report on Maha Dalits and the Uday Kant Choudhary Commission Report on Extremely Backward Castes (EBCs) should be made public and implemented in right earnest. |
