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.
Islamabad-based think-tank PICSS's new report says Pakistan saw 'pronounced escalation' in violence last year, with 3,413 conflict-related deaths compared to 1,950 in previous year.
Many of you might think I got something so wrong in National Interest pieces written this year. I might disagree! But some deserve a Mea Culpa. I’d deal with the most recent this week.
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.
