Dalits, or untouchables, in country's most populous state place little faith in government to improve their lot.
Millions of people will head to the polls in India's most populous state, Uttar Pradesh, to vote for provincial representatives on Wednesday.

Those voters are unhappy about the prospects for receiving benefits they had been promised in previous elections.
