The citizens of the sleepy hamlet, mostly Mahadalits, held a meeting 4 days in the past and took a unanimous resolution to boycott the following Lok Sabha election slated to be held in the constituency on April 11.
“We have been forced to are living in a hellish condition due to lack of elementary amenities at the village,” a 49-year-old resident, Vishnudev Ravidas, stated.
Electric poles were erected about three years in the past.

In distinction, rarely 500 metres away from the Mahadalit tola, electrical energy is available round the clock for the dwellers of Millat Colony. “The houses of the minority neighborhood people of neighbouring Millat Colony stay lit right through night time. On the other hand, we have been forced to spend night time in darkness,” lamented 34-year-old Rekha Devi.
Around 300 families belonging to Mahadalit neighborhood resided at the village devoid of elementary amenities. Majority of the citizens are day-to-day wagers, who visit Nawada the town for work to earn their bread. However, the condition of women citizens is more pitiable due to lack of bathrooms.
“We have to attend till sundown to ease ourselves as not a unmarried rest room is available in the locality. The citizens need to depend on three hand pumps to quench the thirst in the scorching solar,” stated Rekha Devi. There isn't any manner road to hyperlink the hamlet with the primary road, rarely half-a-km away from here.
The district authorities, alternatively, claimed that Nawada is hundred consistent with cent electrified. The state of affairs has come to this type of passé that the citizens have threatened not to permit the contestants to enter the village.
“Elections come and pass. But the condition of the village has not changed. It turns out the village is not on the list of the improvement map of the government,” stated any other resident, Shiv Kumar Ravidas (48).
Aabda Azmi, the mukhiya of Bhadauni panchayat beneath whose jurisdiction Lutanbigha Piprachak vllage falls, stated, “The work has been stopped on the directive of the district administration. Recently, even former CM Jitan Ram Manjhi had known as me and asked to pay heed to the demands of the citizens of Mahadalit Tola.”
She admitted that the electric poles were erected at the village about three years in the past. “The work, alternatively, remained incomplete due to the intervention of the district administration. Though the land on which houses of the members of Mahadalit Tola have been built belong to the state government, an individual has staked his claim of its ownership, forcing the authorities involved to prevent the work midway,” she instructed this newspaper on Monday.
Nawada DM Kaushal Kumar stated he would try to convince the citizens to exercise their franchise on polling day. “I will be able to ship a workforce of officials soon to convince the voters of the village to solid their votes. Their demands might be fulfilled,” the DM stated.

Water level has long past down, leaving lots of the hand pumps and tube wells dry,” stated any other resident Kamal Rajvanshi.
