‘No one comes as we’re Dalits’: Resentment and perpetual struggle in UP’s poorest seat

Rajkumar Gautam, a daily wager from Mohammadpur gram panchayat in Bahraich district, doesn’t know who his local MP and MLA are. Lying on a broken cot in his mud house, all he cares about is whether he will be able to afford increasingly expensive food essentials and feed his family.
“I feel that no one comes to our village because we’re Dalits. A lot of work has been done in the neighbouring villages. But in my village, if we don’t cover the roof with plastic when it rains, the house gets flooded,” he said, claiming that nothing has changed for his family irrespective of who represents Bahraich.
Bahraich is the poorest district in Uttar Pradesh, and the Bahraich Lok Sabha seat, which is a reserved constituency for the Scheduled Castes, is among the state’s 13 segments going to the polls in the fourth phase on May 13. It’s been won by the BJP in the last two general elections in a state that has voted the BJP back to power for two consecutive terms.
Scheduled Castes form 20 percent of Bahraich’s electorate, Muslims 30 percent, backward castes 30 percent, and the rest are from the general category.
While multidimensional poverty in the district has dipped from 72 percent in 2016 to 55 percent, according to NITI Aayog’s Multidimensional Poverty Index last year, locals allege not much has changed on the ground in terms of education, infrastructure, or employment. Some development statistics also suggest official apathy.
Bahraich had chosen BJP’s Savitribai Phule to represent it in Parliament in 2014, and in 2019, five-time MLA Akshaybar Lal Gaur won the seat on a BJP ticket. This time, the party has fielded Gaur’s son Anand Kumar Gaur, who is in a direct contest with the INDIA bloc candidate Ramesh Gautam of the Samajwadi Party.
While Gaur’s campaign has made central and state government schemes the main poll plank in Bahraich, the INDIA bloc is trying to attract support by talking about the marginalisation of vulnerable sections, unemployment, agrarian problems, and poor connectivity.

This situation shows one of the example of majority of SC community village people still under-developed in India. But no-one will focus on it for their development and education.
Now you are doing , what you wrote in your comment.@SandeepKambli-ev6bn
Grest Report 👍 video sharing with all Indians 🇮🇳
News laundry showing us the ground reality of up
Why NL is not comparing with data?? .... You can always show few villages which are not developed during 10 years but comparison before 10 years will give clarity.
@@shreevatsarao3260 just as you used your privilege to type this nonsense comment using your own fingers, you can use your internet to search the data yourself with your own fingers. Human lives are at stake and gandus like you will not bother to put 1% effort to do basic ass research or even acknowledge reality when it is staring right at you. I hope NL shows us more villages like this so that we can see people like you making a public fool out of themselves.
Sad truth
Thanks
Stop voting for BJP.
This is the reality of ground level
This is the real Vikas by Yogi Ji, only temples and nothing else
shining up
😢
INDIA ❤❤❤
Only BSP can full fill the gaps in society
Another side of reality no one talks about and no one takes interest of providing awareness of education in such areas.

Yes then you vote for your own leader the same way and that leader goes and washes the feet of upper caste party and receives lavish life in return. And then you do the same complaining and nothing changes. Be the change you want to see
If being a lower caste and a Dalit lowers your dignity as a human being then why stay and follow that system that promotes such teachings....? Find a better philosophy or faith that values every human life.
come to south india if you want
more jobs
more education institutes
more health care industries
less riots
more It jobs
stay in modi bjp states
if you want
no job
no education
poverty
riots
They can come but only to know that they'll face discrimination in the name of being north indian, hindi speaking.
@@vsansanv29101_sd Okay so it's a smart move by so called self proclaimed more educated folks from more developed southern regions to carry on the dirty to and fro discrimination instead of trying to curb it.
@@curiosity_fan
dont lecture south about discrimination when worst crimes are from north india example women paradded naked
doing riots
doing religious divide
@@curiosity_fanwhy not learn the local language and be humble instead of going to those States and behaving like a total ignorant, saying stuff like "if u dont speak hindi you aren't indian, hindi is national language (lmfao) ". I don't see the telugus living in tamil nadu facing that Or the marwaris who have lived here since british era, they speak tamil fluently yet have their own unique culture which they share.
@@srikrishnak196 Bro, I understand you are filled with some sort of strong hateful emotions due to the dirty politics that goes around provoking emotions based on identity in regional politics. Why do you expect a labourer from north would be able to learn and speak Tamil fluently where he barely even able to read and write his own native language itself? Come out of that hateful sentiments and see the logic. And they say things like why people don't speak hindi in south, they are actually ignorant due the dirty politics of the north. They assume the whole country speaks hindi due the lack of awareness made up by the dirty politics.
Hey Patalkars .....Why you people are not comparing with data .... You can always show few villages which are not developed during 10 years but comparison before 10 years will give clarity.
Apke hypocrisy ki koi seema nahi 😂😂 sharam Karo itna blind follow karte ho
@@TheNeutralMan123 idiot... Am asking for comparable data ... Who is blind follower here?🤔
if bjp was ruling in begining it would have bought economy from 100 to 94
congress bought economy from 100 to 11 bjp only from 11 to 5
1 lack crore yearly gst was congress getting
even after getting 1 lack crore yearly gst you complain
about congress
🤣🤣🤣
Try hard guys,cuz at the end these videos won't work.Kyoki aayega toh modi hi
The channel has already become famous for its fakery.😂
