For the sake of argument, we can say that the state of Uttar Pradesh has a Dalit government as it is being headed by a Dalit chief minister. But Murari Lal Chanchal, a Dalit himself, is still finding it tough to get his voice heard. When he did not get justice from the Mayawati government, he moved to Jantar Mantar. Murai alleges that on July 18, 2007, Shahabad SHO Muin Ahmad and his policemen illegally entered his house and misbehaved with his wife before thrashing her. His repeated attempts to seek the removal of the SHO were not answered. He returned empty handed even from the chief minister’s office in Lucknow. The SHO, still, is proudly throwing his weight around. He says, “I am positive that I will get justice here. Albeit slow, my case has progressed after I have come here. The administration is now more attentive to my family’s well being and my grievances.”
Murari, a resident of Daulapur village of Hardoi, alleges that he had supported a different party and not the Bahujan Samaj Party in the last elections. That is why apparently the local BSP legislator targeted him in cohort with the police.
