Political parties into overdrive to woo 36% EBCs

Political parties in Bihar are focusing on wooing different castes as the next Lok Sabha elections approach. A recent survey highlights the significance of the state’s 215 castes in today’s political landscape. While the RJD faces controversy over a poem recited by one of its MPs, the BJP is trying to consolidate its support among the upper castes. The RJD is reaching out to extremely backward castes, and other parties are targeting specific communities to strengthen their voter base. Caste plays a major role in Bihar politics, with CM Nitish Kumar’s social engineering further emphasizing its importance.
