Pune: Jignesh Mevani, MLA and activist, Gujrat said that Working class is most affected by corruption in India. He was talking in Pune at MIT School of Government’s 9th Bharatiya Chhatra Sansad in ‘Casteism and Corruption: Biggest blots in Indian Democracy’ session. Mr. Rahul Karad, Founder & Dean, MIT-SOG and Executive President- MIT World Peace University felicitated Mr. Mevani during the BCS.
Speaking on the occasion Mr. Jignesh Mevani said: “More than 80 crore people cannot spend more than Rs20 in a day due to corruption. There are crimes against dalits in every 18 minutes and 90% of them still live in the outskirts of villages. When I first entered the assembly after becoming the MLA, the employees of assembly like peons, liftmen came to me and told that our salary is Rs12,000 but we receive only Rs7000-8000. After this I asked myself a question which still leaves me in thought that Gujrat Assembly who cannot pay minimum wages to its own employees, there, what law we will make? In our country, who will be the landowner and who will be landless is decided by caste. Although in Gujrat, land is divided between Adani and Ambani and not to Aadivasi and OBC. According to a survey there are 98 types of untouchability prevailing in Gujrat.”
He added that “Celebrate Valentine’s Day, fall in love because without falling in love, there will be no inter-caste and inter-religion marriages.
