New Delhi: The desire to deny the efforts to slow down wide Hindu consolidation has played a major role in the decision of the Cabinet Committee (CCPA) on political matters to include caste calculations in the next census. While political viewers are linking the move for assembly elections in Bihar, sources said that the political field in the state was already leveled in the state.
In addition, the step was closely associated with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, BJP’s coalition partner, leaving very few space for RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav to claim to be borne. A major idea appears that to investigate efforts to divide Hindus on caste lines, there is a cause of concern for BJP and RSS, which has been working on Hindu consolidation since installation.
Sources said that the decision came after a meeting between PM Narendra Modi and RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat on Tuesday, which teased Parle at various levels of the Sangh and BJP leadership.
In the last decade, the election success of the BJP has been made easy with people coming with many caste groups on a large scale. OBC and upper castes Creating a common cause. Starting with the 2024 general elections, a concrete attempt has been made to snatch the alliance by reviving the thesis of OBC-Dalit-Muslim unity, resulting in some groups moving towards the mandal column. The latest step can help the BJP arrest the flow and build a fresh bridge.
However, it was not clear that anticipation of a nationalist resurrection, which would suppress any ‘grooming’ outrage over the census of the caste, was part of the large calculus. In addition, the inner sources of the BJP suggested that the party stands on a strong position, which took the initiative to seize the main talk to the opposition, which the Congress could not achieve despite its long governance tenure.
He said that the party can claim correctly that it has been distributed while the Congress has only talked about it. While there was initial apprehension about the decision on caste calculation, the overall assessment was that caste surveys in some states did not make much disturbance on the ground.
BJP sources said that PM Modi himself had no “restlessness” as OBC, while parties like Samajwadi Party and Rashtriya Janata Dal are identified with major OBC castes, which can retreat against it with polarization of small castes. The party is also confident of the support of the upper caste as it has already implemented a 10% quota for economically weaker sections (EWS).
Janata Dal (United) National Executive President Sanjay Kumar Jha also welcomed the move, called it an important step for the upliftment of the deprived sections. “Nitish Kumar clearly believes that it is necessary to have accurate data of various castes with the aim of reducing socio-economic inequality and making accurate scheme for the welfare of targeted classes,” he said.
