Bihar's Game-Changing Caste Survey Sets A Template For Rest Of The Country To Follow | Top News

Описание: In a significant move ahead of the 2024 elections, Bihar's Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar, has unveiled the results of the highly anticipated caste survey of Bihar. The data reveals a staggering 63% of the state's total population is comprised of OBC (Other Backward Class) and EBC (Extremely Backward Class) communities. Notably, the survey highlights that the Yadavs, an OBC group to which Deputy Chief Minister Tejaswi Yadav belongs, constitute the largest population segment at 14.27%. This survey, initiated last year, comes amid mounting demands for an OBC quota and a comprehensive caste census, echoing the sentiments of the Indian Block Constituence. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his deputy have hailed this move as historic, setting a precedent for the entire nation.
Neeraj Kumar, a minister from JDU in a press briefing praised Nitish Kumar's determination in successfully conducting the survey despite obstacles posed by some BJP members. He suggests that the "Bihar model" should serve as an example for the entire country.
