RJD’s candidates from EBCs have declined from 13.13 per cent to 11.19 per cent. This could be because the party saw the lowest strike rate among EBC candidates in the 2020 Bihar Assembly polls.
The JDU is contesting 101 seats in Bihar this time, lower than its 2020 quota. Here's what our analysis of the caste background of candidates fielded by it reveals.
JD(U) chief Rajiv Ranjan Singh says BJP moved its supporters to challenge quotas for EBCs in local body polls. BJP says PIL was filed at behest of ruling Mahagathbandhan to defame them.
Nitish says reservations for OBCs needs to be raised from 50% to 65%. For SCs & STs, which together account for 17% quota, he says limit should be raised to 22%.
Report based on the survey, placed before Bihar Assembly Tuesday, also shows that over 50 lakh Biharis live outside the state for livelihood & education.
RJD, once a prominent representative of Mandal politics, now finds itself in a political era where welfare, good governance, and new aspirations are overshadowing old caste equations.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
It’s quite nice work, which just not shows data but also reflects a shift since 2020 in bihar politics . It Shows a comprehensive analysis of representatives of different sections of society and gives an overview how genisis of caste is deeply rooted in society and also used as a tool for popular mobilisation.
Good thing about this article is representation of graphs to track transition if it happened.
Thanks.
