Residents of Dwarkapuri Basti in Sisamau, Kanpur, have announced a boycott of the upcoming UP bypolls this month. Around 3,000 to 3,500 eligible voters in the area are seeking "property ownership rights," a demand that has long been ignored by authorities. Frustrated by their repeated appeals falling on deaf ears, the residents are demanding that property registration be granted in their names before they consider participating in the elections. The basti is primarily populated by Dalits, who form a key voter base in the Sisamau assembly constituency.

00:00We, the residents of Malin Basti, all the Dalit families and people from all walks of life live here.
00:07All of us have only one demand. Malkana Haq.
00:10There is nothing else.
00:12Malkana Haq.
00:14Malkana Haq is our demand.
00:16Then the government has made a decision.
00:18There is nothing else.
00:20Now you are coming. Vote for us.
00:22We will vote for you.
00:24You will go to Lucknow.
00:26Where will you send us?
00:28Tell us. Where will you send us?
00:30We have sent everyone.
00:32No one has looked at us.
00:34No one has looked at this elephant.
00:36Why should we look at them?
00:38Why should we vote for them?
00:40Why should we support them?
00:42We don't want to vote for anyone.
00:44Disgraceful. Disgraceful.
00:58Malkana Haq.
01:00Malkana Haq.
01:02Malkana Haq.
01:04Malkana Haq.
01:06Malkana Haq.
01:08In this case, I met the district officer.
01:10I met the commissioner.
01:12I gave a letter to him.
01:14And after that, I gave a letter to the Chief Minister.
01:18Even after giving a letter to everyone,
01:20when I became Harishmin,
01:22all the people who came,
01:24the people of Lucknow,
01:26they are not so educated.
01:28They are not so intelligent.
01:30Those who are intelligent,
01:32they have to move forward
01:34and do their work.
01:36And their fight,
01:38they themselves are doing it.
01:40And they are fighting.
01:42And they will continue to fight.
01:44And the elections,
01:46we have discussed it.
01:48We have put up a banner.
01:50Now whoever comes,
01:52we will fight.
02:00If we had got Malkana Haq,
02:02we would have paid for it.
02:04We would have become the owner.
02:06But why did they push us?
02:08The mafia here doesn't want
02:10them to get Malkana Haq.
02:12The KDA officials here don't want it.
02:14The officials here don't want it.
02:16Malkana Haq.
02:18Malkana Haq.
02:20The officials here don't want it.
02:22Even our Chief Minister doesn't want it.
02:24Why? Did I show you the letter?
02:26Yes.
02:28Tell me.
02:30It should have been heard in so many days.
02:32It has been 10 months.
02:34Even the Chief Minister didn't pay attention.
02:38We live here in Uttar Pradesh.
02:40Where should we go to complain?
02:42Which country should we go to?
02:44We should tell you this.
02:46Where should these people go?
02:48If they hear about this,
02:50there will be a lot of problems.
02:52Oh, I see.
02:54I am also confused.
02:56My children will cry.
02:58My children will cry.
03:00They are all working hard.
03:02They will clean the houses.
03:06There are 4-5 houses
03:08in this house.
03:10Where will we eat?
03:12We have put the money in the houses.
03:14If we knew this, we would have given it to them.
03:16There are 500 houses in this district and out of these 500 houses, at least 3000-4000 people will be living here
03:28This is the hope that we should get our rights
03:36But here, the Home Mafia, KDA and the officials here are not giving us our rights
03:45We are fighting for our rights and when we get tired of fighting, we sit down and argue
