Nitish Kumar, the chief minister of Bihar, lashed out at the Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday. Over the release of data from the state’s caste-based census. Claiming that the saffron party ‘has no idea’ about the developments and has done nothing for Hindus, Muslims, scheduled castes, and tribes. He enquired, “What idea do they (the BJP) have about all this?”
“What the BJP is doing is very irrelevant. What done to help Muslims or Hindus? Have they accomplished for the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes, please? While responding to queries about the state’s census. He had remarked, “Have they given any acknowledgment to the really backward class?
The Bihar government’s caste census report. The state’s population made up of 63% members of the very backward classes and other backward classes. The SC and ST make up 19% and 1.6%, respectively, of the population, compared to the general category’s 15%.
The BJP and its allies called the study a “eye-wash” and a “divisive tactic” and accused the Nitish Kumar administration of doing little for the underprivileged.
“Nitish Kumar and Lalu Prasad Yadav engage in caste-based politics. Although the backward class is important, Nitish Kumar has done little to help them. Samrat Choudhary, the head of the Bihar BJP, claimed that the state’s chief minister has done nothing to advance the state.
The opposition coalition in reaction asserted that the BJP is avoiding such an exercise. Demanded “jitni abaadi, utna haq” (rights in accordance with the population).
According to the Bihar Caste Census, 84% of the state’s population is OBC, SC, or ST. Only 3 of the Central Government’s 90 secretaries, who manage 5% of India’s budget, are OBC.
