Darauli, Siwan. Comrade Lal Bahadur Kushwaha, a CPI-ML district standing committee member and head of Darauli Panchayat, has announced an indefinite fast starting September 21 at the block headquarters. This protest is aimed at addressing various public grievances. Kushwaha has submitted an application to the Block Development Officer (BDO) outlining his demands.

In his application, Kushwaha stated that his name is listed in the 'tainted' list of Darauli police station, despite having been acquitted by the court in several previously registered cases. He has demanded the removal of his name from this list. Additionally, he has called for the construction of a platform for the statue of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, the architect of the Indian Constitution, within the block headquarters premises.

Other key demands include providing land deeds (vasgeet ka parcha) to Dalit and poor families who have been residing on government land for years, ensuring arrangements for the Kartik Purnima fair by removing encroachments, making urea fertilizer available to farmers, investigating complaints regarding the deletion of poor families' names from ration cards, and constructing a road to the Intermediate College. Kushwaha has warned that if his demands are not met, he will commence an indefinite fast from September 21.
