The Mahagathbandhan, led by Tejashwi Yadav and supported by Rahul Gandhi, has unveiled a series of targeted promises aimed at wooing EBC voters, who have historically supported the NDA. These announcements include a new EBC Atrocities Prevention Act, expansion of reservations in local bodies, land rights for the landless, and inclusion of revised reservation laws in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution to make them legally untouchable. If successful, this could significantly alter the electoral dynamics of Bihar.
Will Tejashwi Face Heat Over Old Allegations Against Lalu? Is the ‘Anti-EBC’ Tag Still Haunting the RJD? The question, though not new, is resurfacing, not as a direct attack, but as a lingering doubt in Bihar’s political memory. Back in the early 1990s, when Lalu moved to implement Mandal Commission recommendations in the state, he faced strong backlash from within his own party. Leaders like Nitish Kumar and Shivanand Tiwari accused him of weakening the Karpoori formula, which had guaranteed separate quotas for Extremely Backward Classes (EBCs).
NDTV’s Shubh Bhardwaj breaks it down.
