Police officers make fun of me, don’t listen to my recommendations, alleges a Dalit BJP MLA

A Dalit BJP MLA, Akchaywar Lal Gond, from Balha constituency in Bahraich has alleged that police officers in his constituency make fun of him and deliberately ignore his requests.

While queuing up on the occasion of Tehsil Diwas to lodge his complaint, he told district officials that, “Police officers make fun of me… They don’t listen to the recommendations I make for the poor or when I bring to their attention any unlawful activity.”

The officers had been surprised to see the MLA in a queue andasked him to come to the dais at the hall. The MLA replied, “I will lodge my complaint as a commoner, hoping that officers would hear me out.

Gond said, “When I send members of the public or a party worker gives my reference to the SHO of Sujauli police station of my constituency, he says he doesn’t know me.”

He added that his constituency residents were not getting enough food grains to feed their family and have not be allotted houses under government schemes. He stated that he had written to CM Yogi Adityanath regarding the problems and expected action to be taken soon.

In response to the complaint lodged, District Magistrate of Bahraich, Mala Srivastava, said that the issues raised by the MLA were of serious nature and will be probed soon.
