The controversy over review of reservation and creamy layer in Bihar politics has now taken a very aggressive turn. Now the family of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav has made a direct and sharp entry into this entire political turmoil. Lalu Yadav’s daughter Rohini Acharya from Singapore has made a big attack on Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi and Union Minister Chirag Paswan through social media. This sharp message of Rohini Acharya has suddenly increased the political temperature of Bihar. A round of allegations and counter-allegations continues between the ruling party and the opposition on the sensitive issue of reservation. The opposition party Rashtriya Janata Dal is presenting this issue as a direct attack on the rights of Dalits and backward people. At the same time, RJD seems aggressive regarding the stand of Dalit faces Chirag Paswan and Jitan Ram Manjhi who are included in the NDA alliance. After the statement of Rohini Acharya, it is believed that in the coming days, this issue is going to become the center point of future politics and electoral equations of Bihar.
Rohini Acharya’s sharp attack from Singapore on reservation review controversy, raised sensational questions on Manjhi and Chirag
Rohini Acharya made very strong and sharp comments one after the other on the social media platform X, in which she targeted Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi and Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan. Rohini said in her message that those who claim themselves to be the messiah or representative of the Dalits, the exploited and the deprived, are today sitting silent or talking in vain in order to lick the cream of power. He asked that when there is talk of changing or reviewing the nature of reservation, why do these two leaders not break their silence and openly protest from the streets to the Parliament. This statement of Rohini Acharya has made the Union Ministers uncomfortable because both the leaders claim to represent the Dalit and Mahadalit vote bank in Bihar. It is clear from the stand of Rohini Acharya, who keeps a close eye on Bihar politics even while living in Singapore, that the Lalu family does not want to let this issue slip away and is trying to make it a strong political weapon against the NDA.
Controversy erupted due to the statements of Jitan Ram Manjhi and Chirag Paswan, why is there political chaos in Bihar politics
In fact, after the Supreme Court’s comments regarding the implementation of sub-classification and creamy layer in the reservation of Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST), politics has heated up in Bihar and across the country. After this decision, Jitan Ram Manjhi had supported the idea of creamy layer to some extent and said that those who have become strong by taking advantage of reservation for generations, should themselves come forward and leave space for the remaining poor brothers and sisters. On the other hand, Chirag Paswan had earlier opposed the creamy layer, but while holding the post of minister in the NDA government, the opposition is capitalizing on the contradiction in his statements. RJD alleges that both Manjhi and Chirag leaders have compromised with the government and are working at the behest of the BJP government at the Centre. Due to this double attitude, RJD leaders have opened a front against these two leaders and are trying to give the message among the public that only the ideology of Lalu Prasad Yadav can give real social justice.
RJD’s stance of Lalu Prasad Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav: Opposition in a see-saw mood on the issue of Dalit and backward reservation
National President of Rashtriya Janata Dal Lalu Prasad Yadav and former Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav have always made the issues of Mandal Commission, social justice and reservation the main axis of their politics. Ever since the debate on reservation review started, Tejashwi Yadav has made it clear that RJD will not tolerate tampering with the limits of reservation or its basic spirit at any cost. The party has a clear stand that caste census should be conducted in the country and people should get rights in proportion to their population. RJD leaders believe that BJP and its allies are gradually trying to weaken the reservation structure with the help of constitutional institutions and court statements. The Lalu family understands that a large section of the extremely backward, Yadav and Dalit voters in Bihar are extremely sensitive about this issue, and if the attack on this issue is intensified, the Dalit leaders within the NDA will have to be on the defensive.
New script of social and diplomatic polarization on the issue of reservation before Bihar assembly elections.
Considering the upcoming assembly elections in Bihar, this issue of reservation and social justice can prove to be a big game changer. To capture the Mahadalit and Dalit votes in the state politics, big faces like Chirag Paswan and Jitan Ram Manjhi have been put forward by the NDA. However, the leaders of RJD and Grand Alliance are continuously trying to weaken the credibility of these two leaders in front of the Dalit community. This new attack by Rohini Acharya has filled a new energy in the opposition camp and has indicated that this issue will be capitalized from social media to ground rallies. Political analysts believe that if the NDA constituents do not make their stand completely clear on this issue, they may have to face dissatisfaction from the Dalit and backward vote bank in the elections. On the other hand, NDA leaders are calling it an attempt by the opposition to panic and spread false illusions, due to which the political developments in Bihar are going to become more interesting in the coming days.
