Pioneer News Service/ New Delhi
Elated over inclusion of various Dalit causes, including a dialogue for reservation for them in private sector in the presidential address, Lok Jan Shakti president Ram Vilas Paswan on Monday said he would strive for time-bound implementation of the various programmes and policies announced by the Congress-led UPA Government.
Taking credit for the inclusion of Dalit-oriented measures in the presidential address, Mr Paswan hailed the Common Minimum programme (CMP) as "Common Men Programme", and said: "We will make all possible efforts to ensure early and effective implementation of the CMP announced by the Government."
On his demand for the reservation of SCs and STs in the private sector, he expressed satisfaction and said: "After mindless sell-off of public sector enterprises, job opportunities for Dalit youths were rapidly shrinking. The step towards reservation for them in the private sector is a right one in the right direction at the right time."
