Manoj Jha’s ‘Thakurs’ poem in Parliament triggers political storm

The poem references ‘Thakurs’, which local politicians claim is targeting a specific caste. Anand Mohan, a Grand Alliance leader, has expressed his anger and stated that he would not tolerate the humiliation of his community. Jha had recited the poem composed by Om Prakash Valmiki during a debate on the women’s reservation bill. Anand Mohan, who recently served a life term in connection with a murder case, is the father of an RJD MLA.
