The induction of the electric fields near a rotating neutron star is considered within the framework of General Relativity. It is demonstrated that within the open magnetic field region, filled by relativistically moving charged particles, a sufficiently strong component of the electric field is generated. This component is due to the effect of dragging of inertial frames of reference and predominates in the case when a neutron star is not exactly an orthogonal rotator. Finally, we discuss some implications of our results on the theory of radio pulsars.
