What will be the impact on Bihar politics?
Nitish Kumar attacked Lalu Yadav’s politics. By showing the fear of Yadav, both BJP and Nitish will keep all the backward and Dalits together. Yadav caste will become a punching bag. Like during Lalu Raj, Lalu Yadav used to snatch everyone’s votes by making Bhumihar a punching bag. Now politics has changed. Only the one who is against the feudalism of Yadav society will rule in Bihar. Understand from example – Gehlot in Rajasthan – leaders of all castes against Jats. Khattar in Haryana – Leaders of 42 castes against Jats. Everyone should make Nitish Kumar the leader against Yadav in Bihar.
Now understand the economic aspect of this caste census. Local people of Deoria, Kushinagar, Gorakhpur, and Varanasi will be most happy with this caste census.
For the last five years, the people of Bihar have been less compelled to invest here. People from districts like Siwan, Gopalganj, Chhapra, Bhabua, Buxar, Rohtas, Arrah, etc. who have money will immediately come to UP border districts.
