Before Kharmas, BJP played a big bet! Command handed over to these castes in UP-Bihar, stir in opposition!

New Delhi: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has recently taken three major organizational decisions. These decisions were taken in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar as well as at the national level. With this the party is trying to please its old and staunch supporters. These changes seem to be part of the party’s strategy before the start of Kharmas.

Kurmi community respected in UP

Pankaj Chaudhary was made the state president in Uttar Pradesh. Let us tell you, Pankaj Chaudhary comes from Kurmi community. This decision is to strengthen Kurmi voters. Kurmi is an influential OBC caste in UP. With this, the party is balancing its core base along with OBCs.

Big responsibility for Kayastha and Marwari in Bihar

Two major changes took place in Bihar. First Nitin Nabin was made the national working president. Nitin belongs to Kayastha community and is only 45 years old youth leader. The population of Kayasthas in Bihar is less, but they are considered strong supporters of BJP.

Secondly, Sanjay Saraogi was appointed Bihar State President. Sanjay is from Marwari community. Their numbers are also less in Bihar, but BJP has a good base among the business class. These two decisions have sent a big message to the upper class and the business class.

Strategy to avoid ethnic polarization

It is BJP’s effort to ensure that there is no caste conflict in a state like Bihar. Here castes like Brahmin, Bhumihar, Rajput, Yadav have been polarizing. Therefore, the party chose leaders from such communities who do not cause major polarization. These leaders are soft spoken and accessible to everyone. This is also related to PM Modi’s thinking of youth, women, farmers and the poor.

There is a plan to connect the new generation with youth like Nitin Nabin. This is also giving an edge to the opposition’s allegations of ethnic mobilization. Only time will tell how much impact these decisions will have in the coming elections. But BJP is busy strengthening its core voters.
