Do current visits of Mayawati mean anything substantial for poor dalits?
Nowadays, almost all media sources are giving wide publicity to the visits of Ms. Mayawati in various part of the state of Uttar Pradesh and one can find a plethora of news items about the importance of these visits of the Chief Minister, which are being made in the name of inspection of the progress made in development schemes, in particular, and the rule of law, in general. Though, there are a good number of people who make fun of it for being mere an election stunt, but on the other hand, there is perception that the current visits of Ms. Mayawati is a sincere effort to improve the lot of the people in the state. Apart from these two fold perceptions of either side, in the light of the cases, mentioned above, regarding atrocities on poor dalit population, as an independent observer, the Peoples’ Vigilance Committee on Human Rights (PVCHR) is of the opinion that the current visits of Mayawati is nothing but a part of cheap politics, of which the people of the state of Uttar Pradesh have been familiar for a long time. Mayawati Raj is no exception of politics of cheap popularity and PVCHR suspects if it is of any substantial importance, not only for poor dalit population but also for an ordinary citizen residing in the state of Uttar Pradesh.
What does Ms. Mayawati fail?
It might be high time to speak out loudly about the failures of Ms. Mayawati, not only being herself a dalit, but at the same time, exercising substantial authority and power in the state of Uttar Pradesh. The first and foremost failure of Ms. Mayawati is that her government is proving itself, like other governments, to be an important tool of serving the interests of capitalists as well as feudal forces, an undeclared ally to the capitalist masters. Mayawati government is applying and using all those unfair means to remain in the power that is required in such a state, which very foundation is formed of the subtle alliance of the interests of feudal and capitalist forces. Mayawati government seems to feel no shame of assimilating in mafias and unsocial elements, who are themselves, biggest threat for the development and rule of law.
Though to some extent, it is claimed that Mayawati government has made the bureaucracy accountable but even on this front, PVCHR suspects if any substantial development has been made. There has been no check on corruption in the state; no work efficiency could be seen in government departments and offices, no clarity in policy decisions could be experienced, no check on crimes and rights violations of weaker sections of the society. There is no visible increased participation of the poor population in the affairs of the state of Uttar Pradesh in Mayawati government. An ordinary citizen is still helpless and has no say for the blatant violation of their fundamental rights. Extreme poverty and illiteracy is still pervading in the state. Majority of the children, in the state, is horribly malnourished, but it is not a matter of concern either for the Mayawati government or for media.
Mayawati government and International human rights norms and standard
Further, it is more ironic to learn that Mayawati government has shown no interest to raise awareness among the people for international norms and standard for the protection of human rights. Though Mayawati claims to be a dalit leader and worry about the protection of rights of dalit population in the state but she has been completely failed to work for a really accountable bureaucracy and government in the matters of violation of essential rights of poor dalit community. Still millions of people are deprived of their right to food as they have not been provided with BPL cards so that they could purchase food grains at subsidized rate. As the cases, mentioned above, glaringly prove that even in the cases of heinous crimes committed against the poorest of poor, no accountable system has been brought forth to eradicate, or at least reduce, the Raj of police impunity. Torture is still practiced widely with full impunity. Contrary to that, rights activists, working for the safeguard of the poor dalit population are targeted in Mayawati government in the same way as her predecessors.
