Gorakhpur: A large number of NISHAD party workers on Thursday gave memorandums to two BJP MPs regarding the issue of reservation for Machuara and their other communities. They also raised slogans like ‘Chahe jo majboori ho, hamari mange poori ho’ and ‘Arakshan hamara akhikar hai’.
More than 50 party workers, led by district president Dharmendra Nishad, reached the residence of Sant Kabir Nagar BJP MP Praveen Nishad, who is son of NISHAD party national president Sanjay Nishad, and gave him a memorandum seeking reservation in jobs.
In Gorakhpur, party workers led by state president Ravindra Nishad after demonstrating on road reached MJP MP Ravi Kishan’s house and handed memorandum to his representative Pradeep Shukla.
“BJP government has not fulfilled its promise of giving Scheduled Caste reservation to Machuara and other fisher folk societies in Uttar Pradesh. We picketed at the residence of the MPs to remind them of the issue of reservation. We gave them vote and we support BJP and we want them to raise our issue in Parliament,” said Ravindra Nishad.
