BJP is recalibrating its caste strategy after two Assembly losses in Jharkhand, weighing tribal outreach versus focus on its traditional vote bank—OBCs and ‘upper castes’.
Ex-CM Das has resigned as Odisha governor & is likely to join active politics in state where BJP has had big losses. Reservations against his return have been set aside, say functionaries.
Having lost tribal vote-base as well as sections of OBCs this assembly poll, BJP is unsure of whether to choose tribal or non-tribal for LoP, has to rethink entire strategy, say leaders.
BJP held a review meeting on 30 November-1 December to analyse its Jharkhand defeat. JMM's Maiya Samman scheme and poor performance of allies emerged as other reasons for loss.
